FYI, Rubenstein almost

completely attributes

the United States’ lower

than average (in an

MDC) life expectancy to

inadequate health care.

Other factors he forgot

to mention was that

Americans drive more

than other countries

(thus leading more car

accidents and deaths),

lifestyle choices, and a

higher than average

murder rate. None of

those have anything to

do with the quality of

medical care but

influence the life

expectancy.
