deaths per million is an increase of 11 percent in the
cancer death rate. It is illogical to estimate that only

other top ailments in its entirety:

1. Heart disease: 1,978 deaths per million
2. Respiratory disease: 489 deaths per million
3. Stroke: 447 deaths per million

7. Kidney disease: 154 deaths per million

Total (including cancer)– 5,695 deaths
per million

We should realistically expect that reduced
healthcare funds will likely increase all of the major
