but the national statistics on life expectancy and infant mortality indicate that Canada is delivering health care more "efficiently" than the US is, IMO. I'm not even a health care expert, but I doubt that conclusion is warranted from the premise. There are lots of variables involved that you don't mention. Many millions of dollars are spent annually to study the very things that you conclude in a single sentence. Maybe you should be a government consultant! Demographics, stress levels, job and income information, food and nutrition, occupation, and lots of other factors are involved. I have friends and acquaintances with PhD's who spend their careers studying and reporting on these things, and their conclusions to date are largely inconclusive or negative (re further government expenditure and socialized medicine), but always "requiring further research" (via grants and contracts).<g>
