LOL.....adjusted life expectancies, ie throw out the bad data. Cancer survival........I suspect that's bullshit too but that's all you've ever pointed to.......there are hundreds of other catagories....... Based on those two things, you say that shows we have the best healthcare system in the world???? What about the millions who don't get cancer??
