Warren Buffett Says America Is "So Rich" It Can Afford Single Payer

Lifestyle and diet, and generations of it. The US average lifespan is reduced much to the unfortunate tendency of urban youth to kill one another.

 

There is a difference between single payer (UK) and social insurance which Europe use. The outcomes under social insurance are better than single payer as the graphs above highlight.

 

To be fair, a lot of those young American mothers were probably shot.

 

Lifestyle and diet certainly do impact maternal mortality. I am not quite sure the same applies to the unfortunate tendency of urban youth to kill one another.

Sure, fine... The Italian system is very similar to the UK NHS. Let's just call it "universal healthcare", shall we?

Makes for a good headline--for rational debate, not so much.
