If we change our medical system to more like the British or Germans, how much can we really expect the average American lifespan to increase?

I think this trip down the garden path (slandering the US system) has gotten away from the question raised. If life spans as an indicator of quality of care are equivalent as you say, then why are we paying so much more for the same results? The question is not about increasing life span, it is about paying excessively for an equivalent life span.

We've now heard the objections to Krugman's assertions about quality. Are there no objections to his assertions about cost?
