[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the odds that European studies and procedures are affected by financial aspects as well? There are multiple socialized systems over there where care is rationed based on availability of medical doctors in a particular field and cost/benefit ratio analysis. Maybe all studies need to be taken with a grain of skepticism. [/quote]

Strange that you would say that.  Perhaps you should look at other studies in Europe that relate to elective procedures.  Fertility is a good one.  Do you suggest that European health care is not at the leading edge of fertility treatment because they may be trying to keep costs down?  If that's the case how is it that IVF was pioneered in the UK?

Americans almost universally misunderstand how health care works in Europe.  It would not be called "socialized" by almost anyone who lives there.  Most Americans also misunderstand or mischaracterize how health care works in the US.  For example, health care rationing occurs frequently in the US, with Medicaid or insurance companies calling the shots - or simply health care is rationed through ability to pay.[/quote]

I am intimately familiar with health care both here and in Europe (particularly the UK). And I would choose the US for any sort of major health care issue. This is not even a little bit of a debate. Anyone who believes otherwise is very suspect in my mind. [/quote]
