The Myth Related to Americans' Poor Life Expectancy

'It’s one of the most oft-repeated justifications for socialized
medicine: Americans spend more money than other developed countries on

...Life expectancy is an appealingly simplistic, but deeply flawed,
way to think about the quality of a country’s health-care system.
After all, shouldn’t good health care make you live longer? Well, yes,
but. The problem, of course, is that there are many factors that
affect life expectancy...."
