re: Typical of Tim. When you present data, even if it is indisputable, he twists and turns and nit-picks it to death. When he presents a guess without any support at all, he expects you to accept it as Gospel. No kidding. But you have to give him credit he BS's with confidence!

If by it, you mean the assertion that not having "single payer" or directly socialized medicine decreases the average US life expectancy, that not only isn't indisputable, its highly disputable. In fact probably wrong. If your just asserting "life expectancy in the US is lower than France", or something similar, well that's pretty much indisputable, but its also pretty much meaningless in the context of the argument that you and John and others are making. Its one data point only, and its dependent on other things more than it is dependent on the general system of health insurance in a country.
