As it happens, most (all?) western European countries have longer life expectancies than the USA
The average life expectancy in the EU is 78.7 and in the USA it's 78.06, according to Wikipedia.
- cabalamat 17y agoBear in mind that western Europe != the EU. In 2004 and 2007 12 countries from central and eastern Europe joined the EU, with lower standards of living and (presumably) healthcare. The western EU countries are more comparable with the USA, since they have a more similar standard of living.
