As for the "American life style being hazardous do health"

1 - Your changing the subject. The issue is health care, not some general American lifestyle issue.

Tim, you were the one who brought car accidents and homicides. Just as a high suicide rate in Japan suggests there may be something messed up in the Japanese culture so do high accident and homicide rates and as does a higher rate of obesity suggest that there is something very wrong in the American lifestyle. I know, Tim.....the American way of life is a sacred cow with you guys but dude, we can;t continue to ignore the facts.

2 - The subject your changing it to is rather vague.

There is nothing vague about this subject......people have complained for years that the American lifestyle/culture is out of whack. And now, the statistics support their argument.

3 - Its suggests that in the US, at the margin we have more accidents and homicides. It doesn't suggest that our lifestyle in the US is so horribly dangerous, only that in some ways some other countries might be slightly safer.

LOL. Yeah, right.

4 - Even if you think that we should try to change our lifestyles, that's mostly an individual choice, unless your a totalitarian who wants to force different lifestyles on people.

No worries, Tim. I recognize we, as a culture, have to recognize that things are screwed up and then change them.
