At the very best, your arguements that there is no difference between longevity between the Japanese and French and US should be a solid inditement of our health care system. We should be living at least 40% longer given that we pay that much more!

Cherry picking to make a specious argument?

You've taken a representation of data which is constructed to persuade, or constructed under a prejudice, and built a trivially false argument that you shouldn't believe for your own health! There's no meaningful connection between longevity and health care. It is ENTIRELY an individual matter as in what individuals elect to do to take care of themselves. When you try to put it in one pile and perform calculations you end up with specious claims. People can have a good health care system and still be in bad shape. People can have a bad system and the mere fact that it's bad, forces people to take care of themselves. Have you considered incentive, as in avoiding gross suffering?
