"They might be cherry picking the group or the countries"

Of course, they're trying to show how bad we are.....get real!

"Even if they are not, its not a chart of mortality do to hospital mistakes (the issue we where discussing), nor is it a strong indicator of deaths from all purposes."

No one said it is a chart of hospital mistakes...

Tell you what.....come up with a chart removing gun killings, hospital mistakes, car accidents, wars, heart attacks, strokes, obesity, diabetes, etc and maybe we'll have the longest life expectancy in the world....you're getting ridiculous...!! Live expectancy data show your chances of living to a certain age if you live in a particular country including all causes of death, not just the medical system which is a major part. Haven't you ever filled out a health questionnaire??
