Western Europe does better, Eastern Europe does worse. Pretty much as one would expect.

Your prior "5 year cancer survival rate" was pretty random. The cherry picking of one favorable stat while ignoring the mountain of counterfactuals.
I was confused.
Then I spotted this.

Aha. Just another "libertarian" talking point. Good grief.
- refurb 4y agoYou're arguing in circles and not making a lot of sense. First I argued that life expectancy isn't a good measure because of lifestyle, then you say "public health should address those", then I argued Europe does worse than the US on several public health metrics like smoking rates and alcohol consumption, then you go back to life expectancy. I have no idea the point your making because you're failing to actually provide counterfactuals.
