It's a minor difference (3 years), there are a lot of other reasons that can contribute to difference in life expectancy than health care. Europe is very much, you know, don't do anything, sit at a home all days. Americans are more likely to live their life and get out - which comes with obvious danger, but at least Americans might experience life!
- dv_dt 3y agoHow much is a year of your life worth? A few thousand in taxes a year? The US left expectancy has also been going down even after the worse of Covid while the EU is returning to a slow upward trend. It’s also that if you lose you’re job you immediately have to think about where you are going to get your healthcare from and changing a lot of paperwork or even providers.
- personomas 3y agoThe point is that you can't draw conclusions of quality of health care simply based of one statistic. There so many other reasons to cause difference in life expectancy. > The US left expectancy has also been going down even after the worse of Covid while the EU is returning to a slow upward trend. This is complete meaningless non-sense. You can't draw trends from this. And it's not relevant to the discussion anyways! > It’s also that if you lose you’re job you immediately have to think about where you are going to get your healthcare from and changing a lot of paperwork or even providers. You think you have lots of paperwork in the US?? Come to Europe man.
