Actually North Germans live a couple of years longer than South Germans, and to me that is totally incomprehensible, considering how much better the Bavarian beer is than that crap they serve up North :). That said, the Swedes (in Sweden) live even longer! Taro

"I agree. But taken alone it is a meaningless one." Of course. That's why you take the longevity of ALL a country's citizens and average it. The US fares badly. Anything beyond that are just pitiful excuses and phony justifications for poor performance. By your (R) metrics, only the people that can afford health care should be counted. You'd like to ignore them like the homeless beggars you won't make eye contact with outside your Sam's Club. Which is wrong - ALL Americans are citizens of this country. The WHO counts them ALL equally.
