re: Car accidents and homicides are the only differences. I mentioned another one (Americans are fatter than people than the average developed country, even if we aren't quite the fattest), but they do show how you can't simply through life expectancy figures in to the ring and think you have the answer to how health care should be paid for.

You take a hugely broad statistic and try to kill it with a few outliers, without mentioning the outliers on the other side (of which there are many not even discussed).

It an obvious ploy to distort the facts. As you do every time the data doesn't fit the ideology. Rather than rethink your position.

The fact is our health care system costs TWICE as much and is LESS EFFECTIVE.
