Radical changes, however, have to be approached with caution - as we say in medicine, the good thing about radical surgery is it always succeeds in removing the disease. The trouble is sometimes it kills the patient. Well put.

<<<Longevity depends on many other factors such as lifestyle, genetics etc. It is naive to think that having Universal Healthcare in the US will magically prolong the longevity to equal that of Sweden & Canada, countries that are more homogenous than the US>>> I can't prove it but I'll bet that the 43 million people without health care insurance will live longer if they get health care insurance. Homogenous not withstanding.

Sweden & Canada, countries that are more homogenous than the US Canada is MORE homogeneous than the US? And by homogeneous I assume that you don't mean their gay people are smarter. Canada? Really? Please elaborate. Dan D.

biotech bull; It is naive to think that having Universal Healthcare in the US will magically prolong the longevity to equal that of Sweden & Canada, countries that are more homogenous than the US What makes you think that being more homogenous gives you longevity? Swedes live longer because more have blue eyes? steve
