France is number one??lolol In France, 14,802 people—mostly elderly—died from heat, according to the French National Institute of Health.[2][3] France does not commonly have very hot summers, particularly in the northern areas,[4] but seven days with temperatures of more than 40 °C (104 °F) were recorded in Auxerre, Yonne between July and August 2003. I guess they have the same health care for old people like Obama care will have

>> They chose the factors that best represents how healthy a nation's people ARE, i No they didn't. They chose to factor in their perceived "fairness", which of course, means Egalitarianism in health care. The problem with Egalitarianism is that it doesn't permit the kinds of R&D that have given the US the best health care in the world, and has led to better care in other countries over time. They also failed to discount a lot of unrelated items, such as car accidents and military dead, something FRANCE sure as hell doesn't have to worry about.
