(Not disagreeing with your overall point.)
- excuse-me 15y agoOk, a little hyperbola. And some of it is due to ethnic makeup of the population. But diet, pre/post natal care and screening for eg. cancer are the things that make a HUGE difference to life expectancy - not high-tech scanners and specialist brain surgeons. And these aren't things that are addressed by the US system.
