"Socialized medicine makes people die."
That must explain why Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Italy, and the UK all have significantly higher life expectances than the United States.
Victoria Jackson is still a wacko, but this is from the wikipedia page you linked:
This list does not directly reflect the quality of healthcare of the countries listed.
And more importantly, do those countries have the same pitiful life expectancy for black males that the US does? I think that number skews the results a tad lower.
And then finally, the life expectancy is 1 to 2 years higher than the US. I haven't done the math, but I don't think that qualifies as "significantly higher".
