re: If you really want an answer, please ask a more specific question. Name a specific measure or two, provide some data about it, and than ask for an explanation. DON'T DO IT TED!!! You will get more nuanced libertarian blog ephemeral data than you can stomach. Ya see the thing is, according to Tim, the US is so strikingly different than the rest of the world that simple statistics are all wrong. And he has a dozen ways to nuance it. Just don't go there.... Tim could prove the earth is flat if it was libertarian doctrine.

Have improved.........some doctors believe that may be in the past tense. You can find some people, even some people with some level of credentials and knowledge that believe just about anything may have occurred. I see no reason to accept that speculation as fact. These days kids are more commonly getting adult diseases. Austism is on the rise but no one knows why. That concerns me even if it doesn't you. And whether they continue to improve or not, we do lag other industrialized nations. If you really want an answer, please ask a more specific question. Name a specific measure or two, provide some data about it, and than ask for an explanation. The American level of health care is rated around 37th in the world. And yet, we are in the top ten in terms of wealth. That concerns me even if it doesn't concern you.
