The homicide rate for people born in 2009 is most likely zero.
The homicide rate in 2010 for people born in 2009 is also close to zero.
The homicide rate in 2011 for people born in 2009 is also close to zero.
Etc.
Etc.
does your analysis take into consideration the cumulative impact of the difference between the two countries?
Secondly, if we look at probabilities of homicide, from the source cited below it shows the lifetime odds of death in the US in 1996 by homicide is 1:169 or 592 in every 100,000. That is .6%.
Here is a link to the data:
Keep and Bear Arms - Gun Owners Home Page - 2nd Amendment Supporters
I don't have comparable data for Canada, but if it is 1/3, the rate for Canada would be about .2%. One of the keys is when these homicides occur. compared to an 80 average year life span, if the homicides occur in the years of let's say 18 to 25 it would have a bigger impact than if they occurred 48 to 55.
Again if we take the time to dig into the numbers there is clearly a difference between male and female life spans. Many factors contribute, one could be the difference in homicide rates between males and females. If, this is a factor- this factor would have nothing to do with health care. The same could be true in the comparison of Canada and the US
You can dismiss homicide rates, I don't. I would want a detailed mathematical analysis before reaching the conclusion you have come to.

This is interesting but there are really two different issues on the table regarding "death panels (I agree this is a bad way to describe the issue), there is what you refer to, and there is what I am concerned about. See my post #90 and what preceeded it on this issue.
