"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." At a very minimum, it would reduce infant mortality. The lack of prenatal care is what many doctors and researchers blame for the relative high figures in the US. And that correlates pretty tightly with access to health insurance. So it is neither disputable or wrong.
