This post has a few things to address. from the actual subject line to healthcare to whether or not the two are related.
So I'll start simply and say that I tend to dislike the Catholic church, conservatives, weak Democrats, and the polarization.
That said, I'm not sure life expectancy is the best measure of health care system quality. Could there be a connection with lower infant mortality rates and lower life expectancy? It is, after all, an average. If we keep more children alive who would have otherwise died, I reckon they will die sooner than those who weren't, etc. Perhaps more metrics should be used to decide whether one health care system is better or worse?
