The difference between suicide rates isn't always the US having more suicides. We don't have the lowest rate in the world.

Different homicide rates, different car accident rates, different suicide rates, different non-car accident rates, differences in food intake (both type and amount), differences in exercise patterns, differences in other aspects of lifestyle, genetic differences (yes the overlap is larger than the difference, the genetics are very similar when your comparing the US and Europe, but there still is a difference to account for), and then a million tiny less important differences. Also differences in health care that have nothing to do with single payer, vs. mixed government and private system, vs. fully socialized health care.

But you put it all on the overall design of our system of health insurance. Its all about whether we are single payer or not...
