Just as I look at the statistics here, and I see the 91 percent of survival rate of prostate cancer in America, that means out of 10 patients, nine will live. I look at the ratio in the United Kingdom, 50 percent. That means out of two patients, one of them will die. One out of 10 will die in America, one out of two will die in England. That is the comparison in the results of this health care.
