Health/Medical Title: Steve Jobs 'Had Secret Cancer Treatment in Switzerland' (Rich Americans go to Socialist Europe for health care) Steve Jobs 'Had Secret Cancer Treatment in Switzerland' Apple CEO Steve Jobs secretly visited Switzerland to treat his cancer in 2009, it was revealed on Tuesday amid speculation surrounding Jobs' health after he took a third medical leave. Fortune magazine on Tuesday cited former Apple director Jerry York, who died in March last year, as saying Jobs received radiotherapy to treat neuroendocrine cancer at the University Hospital of Basel during his second medical leave in 2009. At the time, a special form of hormone-delivered radiotherapy developed by the hospital was not available in the U.S., Fortune said. Jobs also had a liver transplant at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee the same year. His original cancer treatment was in 2004. There is speculation that the reason for the liver transplant was also cancer, and the deteriorating condition of Jobs' liver or recurrence of cancer may have forced him to take leave again. However, doctors emphasize that the neuroendocrine cancer Jobs is battling is a very rare form with a slow pace of development and is treatable. englishnews@chosun.com / Jan. 20, 2011 11:55 KST Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 11. Steve Jobs 'Had Secret Cancer Treatment in Switzerland' Because the FDA wouldn't allow the treatment here. Americans go all over the world for experimental cancer treatments because the FDA drags it's heals on approving new and innovative treatments in America. It's another example of how the American government continually fails us.

You have to explain to me why "socialist" Europe can do what America's private health care system can not? You blame the FDA and thus bureaucracy and thus America's problem with govt but in Socialist Europe they would have more govt intervention per the theory. But it ain't so. Choke on the truth. By the way I am not a "lib".
#9. To: Godwinson (#8) but in Socialist Europe they would have more govt intervention per the theory. But it ain't so. So you're saying when socialized ObamaCare government medicine takes over what the government's not already regulating then we'll have less regulations? Uh, OK, if you say so. Pass me the bong a few more times and then maybe I'll "get it" too.

Uh, OK, if you say so. Pass me the bong a few more times and then maybe I'll "get it" too. Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I clearly wrote (and you can see it above twice): "So let's adopt Europe's health care model.......or will you now spin it to try and say America's ridiculous system is still better?" I don't like Obama's health plan since it is a Republican party plan from a decade ago.
