<<<While our health care system surely does a better job than any in the world, it takes a "whole lotta medicine" (sorry, Randy) to offset our collective addictions to fast food, drugs, guns, fast cars, and any number of other things that cause our life expectancies to be shortened.>>> You can't have it both ways. Better health care cost more money and that a shorter life span caused by bad behavior saves money. My contention is that a better health care system costs more money and that bad behavior increases those costs. Reduce bad behavior (poor diet) saves money.
