OT I have lived in Europe for a number of years and visit there regularly, almost every year.

I think they don't live healthier lifestyles compared to average Americans, with the exception of far less stress with respect to employment and health care. Most Europeans, for example, smoke and drink more than Americans. A thin smoker is less healthy than a fat nonsmoker. Also, their environment is much more crowded and polluted than that experienced by the average American.

Check out smoking rates in the big European countries compared to the US. You will be surprised:

I can say unequivocally from multiple personal experiences that their health care is FAR SUPERIOR than my experience in America -- and i have pretty good medical insurance in the US.
