America ranks #2, because it has a high rate of immigration. Immigration brings in many people who aren’t in the best health and won’t live as long as their children.
The US does not have the most expensive healthcare in the world. It just seems that way because it is more directly funded by the users and less indirectly from the tax base.
As internet medicine improves, the costs should come down over time.
People eat poorly, eat large portions and don’t exercise enough. Figure those things out as an individual and life expectancy should improve.
why do we get to see this within hours, when we had to wait over a year, and have a reporter leak it, to see the Nashville trannie school shooters manifesto?
He wanted to be caught.
Who cares what some Antifa homo murderer writes.
It's #14
This kid’s folks must have a lot of juice. I can’t ever recall a time when a perp’s had a headline making excuse in the press within 24 hours of being arrested. They want to try him in the press first.
europeans have “free” healthcare but their income tax rates are way,way,way higher than ours that pays for healthcare.
Our longevity HAS increased..he’s wrong on that.
His answer to use violence to change the healthcare system is his immaturity and lack of discipline to work within a political system..a very childish personality.
The only thing the government should be doing is providing good information. 95% of healthcare is maintenance care that people can do, if they only know what to do.
I tend to recommend bodybuilding to anybody who wants to learn to eat well, because bodybuilders have a greater knowledge of diet than any other athlete.
Luigi shortsightedly conveniently overlooks Obamas contribution to the situation.
and we still know nothing about the Las Vegas shooter except what the deep state allowed us to hear from an alleged hotel employee on the ellen degenerate show before he was whisked away
“The US does not have the most expensive healthcare in the world.”
Wrong!

This quickly got out of hand as to sick glorification of a killer by glamorizing and making notorious the actions.
Since some mentally unbalanced people just want to get “on the front page” “be discussed at the start of the news on TV” or “got millions of hits on social media” depending on the era, this notoriety could lead to the “reward” of more killings in the future.
They had to pass state laws to prohibit serial killers from profiting on their crimes by bestseller and TV and movie royalties or exclusive interview payoffs. “Son of Sam laws” named for the David Berkowitz infamy.
And some news people say “I won’t mention that name here to give them the satisfaction.”
Health care destroyed by the left, first with OBAMACARE, THEN adding MILLIONS of illegals into our health care system.
This one's on YOU, leftists.
This is real personal. He perceived he was wronged, and someone was going to pay.

Healthcare has set costs worldwide. The only difference is where the costs are paid for. Europe and Canada and Australia uses hidden taxes to fund healthcare and they don’t charge the user, but in America you charge less in the hidden taxes and more upfront to the user.
An aside, because the tax differential between Europe and America, the American lives a gradient better at identical incomes than the European.
You’re right, America does not have the most expensive healthcare in the world. It just seems that way, but it’s more upfront about its costs than the rest of the world.

Many of the drugs you see advertised on TV costs as much as a brand new car, per year, per patient.
