Yep, the 20/20 show explained that there are more deaths in the USA due to car accidents, murder, etc. If you take out those statistics then the average American has a longer life expectancy.
Good post.
Yes, these facts and other things can be quickly overlooked in order to make a push for socialized health care. If it works in a country with 1/10 the population and no national debt - why can't it work here? </sarcasm> Many-a-liberal would say our murder rate is due to the higher number of guns per capita we have versus other countries around the world as well. This is due to the definitive fact that inanimate objects have a nasty habit of killing people. Just last night I was almost strangled by a gun I own. Pesky critters those killing machines are. </sarcasm again>
