Scotland has a life expectancy of 77 years and Canada 81 years. In the United States it’s 79.

Yeah, Canada has a terrible health care system.

Life expectancy is not a good measure of a health care system. In the U.S. we have many people complaining about our health care system who engage is risky and unhealthy behaviors, who are non-compliant and who fail to take advantage of preventative measures and who are grossly obese. Of course they are going to skew the morbidity and mortality statistics.
