The difference that you talk about isn't huge, and data is almost useless if the data points measure different things. But even if you count the raw data as 100% accurate and unbiased it still doesn't make your case. Its a measurement of one thing that is the result of many things besides different health care systems. Also its far from the only way to measure health care systems and by other measurements (for example cancer survival rates) the US comes out ahead. You act as if one data point, out of many data points that could be considered, that is measured differently in different places, and has many possible explanations, is somehow solid evidence of your one particular explanation, that more socialized health care or health insurance systems are better. You have no real basis for that assumption, but don't let that stop you.
