The Causes of Unnecessary Deaths in the United States
I bet these unnecessary deaths account for a major portion of the health disparity in African Americans.The top three causes of
Unnecessary Deaths in the United States are related to our "drugs only" health care system...
The number one cause of unnecessary death in the United States, called Iatrogenic deaths (783,986) is shown in the table below. Our regulatory system is doing
NOTHING about this problem, either.
Condition------------------------------------ Deaths--------Cost
Hospital Adverse Drug Reactions--------106,000------$12 billion
Medical error --------------------------------98,000 -------$62 billion
Bedsores -------------------------------------115,000 -------$55 billion
Infection -------------------------------------88,000----------$5 billion
Malnutrition--------------------------------108,800----------
Outpatient Drug Reactions------------199,000---------$77 billion
Unnecessary Procedures-----------------37,136-------$122 billion
Surgery-Related ----------------------------32,000----------$9 billion
TOTAL---------------------------------------783,936--------$282 billion
The number two cause of unnecessary death in the United States is Heart Disease. Statistics show "The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697."
The number three cause of unnecessary death in the United States is Cancer. Statistics show "the annual cancer death rate is 553,251."
The total number of known unnecessary deaths, per year, directly due to the drug-based American Medical System is 2,036,884. People in the "health" world know that both heart disease and cancer are solvable issues - but not with drugs...
