A) has falling life expectancy..
Because poor people who eat terrible food and don't exercise bring the average down, and there's a lot in the us.
It's kind of like with black people and violent crime. If suddenly blacks disappeared there's be an immediate over 50% decline in violent crime. The murder rate in Chicago alone would decrease by 80%. Well if you got rid of the Cheeto munching fatasses the us would be far healthier
And Europe isn't that much better. Even in Poland there's fat people now. You'd never see that back in the early 00s 90s and earlier everyone was in good shape, athletic, thin, etc.
At the end of the day, the us has far, far better healthcare - if you can afford it or work for a good company in a position where it's worth its in your employers interest to keep you happy and healthy.
All the medical device companies, break through pharma drugs and world's best hospitals are all in the usa.
I for one love the two tier system because it means I don't have to use the same ****** social system with ridiculously long wait times and subpar doctors as the low income, welfare and disability Obama voting crowd while that crowd doesn't get access to the top doctors. I'd be furious if my doctor's office looked like the DMV or social security administration.
IDK about you but if I'm given private insurance because I work and contribute I sure as hell wouldn't want to share it with people who can get it without doing anything to deserve it. It's bad enough I pay tens of thousands in taxes every year just so these low life's can keep wasting finite resources including on healthcare when they're just going to keep destroying themselves with malt liquor and potato chips. Why should some unemployed drunk or ghetto welfare queen who has kids just for the government check be given the same services as someone who actually pays or works to get it?
