What do you think that data shows? Its probability of death for a certain group, in three countries, over time. They might be cherry picking the group or the countries. Even if they are not, its not a chart of mortality do to hospital mistakes (the issue we where discussing), nor is it a strong indicator of deaths from all purposes. IF more young to middle age American males die from murder or car accidents than the equivalent Swedish group, what does that tell us about our medical care, and medical payment systems? Next to nothing. --------- Look at this data adjusting life expectancy for accident and homicides They compare 16 wealthy countries. The US is last on the chart in raw life expectancy numbers, but number 1 (highest life expectancy) when you adjust for these factors. politicalcalculations.blogspot.com
