Overall health statistics (longevity, morbidity and mortality) in the U.S. lag sadly behind a number of other industrial nations. Childhood health statistics are considerably worse in the U.S. than France. I can't help but wonder how many Americans are suffering the illusion that they can expect to outlive people in other countries.(posted 7336 days ago)Perhaps something would be done about public health care and health policy in the U.S. if people actually knew the facts?
