Here's the real data:

Life expectancy at birth:
total population: 76.23 years
male: 72.95 years
female: 79.67 years (1999 est.)

That makes the United States the longest-lived nation on earth. But that fact is inconvenient, isn't it? We can't point the finger at United States health care based on our wonderful longevity, so the statistics mysteriously morph.

I didn't say that the US was number one in life expectancy. I said it was number one in health care. Message 13963087

You can say whatever you want, of course, it's all entertainment to me.

Cheers, Dan.
