The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.5)

Why do you think that many people are pre-occupied with threats that are statistically low like terrorism, but not something as pervasive as poorly practiced medicine that is possibly the leading killer in America?
