No one who walks down a typical American Main Street would bet the future on the USA. Don't take it from me: stick your late grandfather in an HG Wells time-machine and fly him from 1950 to now. He would be horrified; the single most salient fact about the United States is staring you in the face. Granted, in the big crime-ridden cities, the picture is obscured somewhat by the fact that everyone under fifty seems to come from somewhere else, so among the sickly natives are legions of trim Pushtun "translators" from the outskirts of Jalalabad and svelte CCP bagmen with supersized attaché cases en route to Hunter Biden's art dealer. But in the unknown, unfashionable rural towns the truth is harder to avoid: this is a profoundly unhealthy society.
Which is odd. Because Americans are the most thoroughly medicated people on the planet, and pay more for the privilege than anybody else. Despite that, on every metric - from life expectancy to childhood obesity to psycho-trannies on the rampage - the results are a disaster.
And yet your elected representatives are in no doubt what the real problem is....

In all fairness, the numbers are probably skewed but the 200,000 to over 400,000 Americans who die annually from medical mistakes.
