Quote:It's in a British newspaper.


And life expectancy is heavily weighted by infant deaths. The US loses the statistical battle there because we attempt to save every child born, no matter how premature. Most other countries don't count early premature infant deaths in their stats.

I'll let you know the real reason people live longer in countries with a socialised care system....


People are far more likely to visit the doctor earlier and before symptoms become more severe. Primary care is the most effective way of staying healthy which is where there British nhs excels.

This also saves a lot of money hence why it costs far less than the US system
