The important point is that the whole argument about how health care in Europe is "proven" to be better because of higher life spans and lower infant mortality is bogus. The infant mortality is measured differently, and the US's isn't worse when you measure it the same way. And the life spans are not lower in the US when you control for factors that are not part of the health care system. Tim, I going to evaluate the issue by the way the world does, and not the way the American right does. The US is 41st in lifespan. That's a disgrace period. Instead of asking the right questions, you are defending the indefensible. Shame!
