"How come they live, on average, two years longer than our citizens?"

You can play the statistic game all night long. Stossel had a documentry on the other night and he claimed some percentage it seems to me around 10% pof Canadians don't even have a primary health provider and have to wait years for one.

How come they live, on average, two years longer than our citizens?

Well is the only possible answer to that question that their health care is better. Perhaps they calculate life expectancy differently, or they eat better, or they are not as successful with infants. Maybe they don't have as many drug addicted teen agers giving birth.

Figues don't lie but liars figure. When was the last time you ever heard of some big-shot foreigner going to Canada for their health treatment?
