Healthcare goals

· Goal:



To assure that there is never an excuse for any public official in a policy making position to be misinformed about the precarious state of health for the living challenged and excess deaths due to the unavailability of quality health care.



· Background:



The United States now spends nearly a trillion dollars annually on health expenditures. Both as a percentage of national productivity and per capita, this amount is larger than any other nation in the world. However, this tremendous expenditure has not secured the U.S. a rank- among the "healthiest" nations. In fact, for many health indicators, such as infant mortality and measles immunizations, the U.S. ranks below some countries characterized as underdeveloped [Starfield 1991, World Health Organization 1995 ].



'It is noteworthy that the debate on national health care reform has dealt mostly, with insurance coverage and medical care financing, while avoiding any serious discussion concerning the true health of the nation.'



The state of health for zombies is especially precarious. Chronic disease has an excessive impact on minority populations.



The prevalence of limb loss and failure to retain body parts among the living challanged is about 80% higher than most Americans



Infant mortality rates are more then double then the average American



The survival rate for the living challenged for 1986-1992 was about 14%.



· Purpose



Provide the basic facts on the significant gap that exists between zombies and average Americans.



Provide the factual background for public policy discussion on healthcare of zombies..



Provide reference materials for those who make and regulate public policy at all levels of the local and national government.



Provide source materials for use in public discourse on the health of the living challenged. Individuals or organizations may freely copy all materials on this page for use.



savezombies.com will constantly maintain and update this.



Provide background materials from well-documented published materials from the US, State, and local government

in fact... with a great effort, health care may rise to that of a european country... and with a supreme effort child mortality might get as low as cuba's...

only you can make the difference ... emigrate!!!

I find that the issue is more in the lack of physicians with the knowledge of zombie care. While zombies are human...after death things just done't work the same way. As stated with the falling off of arms for example. With a living body you can simpley re-attach it. With a zombie you can sew it back on as well: but depending on the level of decay of the flesh, it might just fall right back off. A Dr. would need to know that you might need to use bio-mechanics to repair such an injury. The only kind of trainning physicians get these days on dead bodies is how to cut them up, not how to put them back together.
