"You could apply indefinitely more money to health care but neither infant mortality nor life expectancy would change much"

Right, it's not so much the amount of money spent as how it is spent. Exhibit A is the USA, which spends more money per capita on health care, but has a worse infant mortality than Greece.

At the very best, your arguements that there is no difference between longevity between the Japanese and French and US should be a solid inditement of our health care system. We should be living at least 40% longer given that we pay that much more!
