"Now, folks who die from other than disease are just as dead but their deaths aren't relevant to health care so aren't a basis for conclusions about health care." They sure as hell are if they occur in a hospital and are caused by hospital mistakes....says a great deal about quality of care...

Consider the number of American men in that cohort killed in military combat during that period vs the number of Swedes or Australians That might not be much of a factor. Deaths due to military deployments are a very low portion of US deaths, and in fact deaths in the military, with our two wars, are lower than they where in the past in many peacetime periods (we had a larger military so there where more people to die from non-combat related issues, and also training was on the average less safe).
