It’s one of the most oft-repeated justifications for socialized medicine: Americans spend more money than other developed countries on health care, but don’t live as long. If we would just hop on the European health-care bandwagon, we’d live longer and healthier lives. The only problem is it’s not true.
and
If we look at Switzerland, a country with private-sector, market-based universal coverage, we see very good health outcomes data. Put another way: if we compared the life expectancy of Americans on private insurance with that of centrally-planned Europeans, I’d bet that the U.S. would come out on top. And if that’s true, the argument that socialized medicine leads to longer life evaporates.
comment:
What you get from this is that the left is lying when they claim socialized health care leads to longer lifespans. Beyond that, the things that hurt US longetivity stats are due to policies that the Democrats favor. So, they blame others for what is actually their own fault.
But nobody will believe that because they believe what they are told on TV and in academia.
Health care insurance can be improved upon, but the thing you can count on is for the political class to studiously avoid doing that while doing the opposite and claiming that they are indeed improving it. They are improving it if the real intent to "improve" it means that people will die. Too many people, you see. It's all about Limits to Growth. If there are fewer people, that's a feature, not a bug.
