Those statistics are interesting and worth a closer look. Life expectancy. UK vs USA. UK ranked 26, USA ranked 30. Both countries are 78+ though. en.wikipedia.org Infant mortality rate. UK ranked 22, USA ranked 33. en.wikipedia.org A news article from last year. independent.co.uk USA looks better when looking at the death rate though. USA ranked 94th vs UK 61st. en.wikipedia.org one blog comment In the movie "Sicko," Michael Moore mentions several times that life expectancy is longer in countries like the U.K. and France that have socialized medicine than in the U.S., which doesn't have socialized health care. The implication is that the superiority of socialized medicine results in better health care and longer life expectancies. It is true that life expectancy is higher at birth in the U.K., by 1.6 years for males and .70 years for females. However, life expectancy at older ages is greater in the U.S. than in the U.K. mjperry.blogspot.com
