Health is related to a healthy lifestyle. Americans do not live such a lifestyle. You want to throw money at a problem that personal effort is the answer.

You are so full of it your breath smells like shit..

VIOLENT IMAGRY!!!!

What exactly is the point of the cut-and-pasting of statistics comparing the USA with other countries: That the USA isn't Japan?

No shit?

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Its the same point he is making by posting that very deceptive chart on the last page.

Other countries have longer life expectancies than us for a myriad of reasons...his point is, from the stats he is trying to use, that its all because we dont have socialized medicine
