What about the word NO doesn't Obama and Congress understand?
I am NOT a gun nut or gun owner, but I love the life expectancy argument. The left uses that to prove guns are bad until they need to pass health care. Now the UK vs. USA life expectancy difference is because of health care...
I do not and have never met anyone that has died because of lack of health care, and I am pretty sure no one here has either. My wife's grandmother, stricken with cancer, was told she had to sell her house (one she worked for all her life) to keep her Medicare. Seems that made her to "rich" to qualify (You should have seen the place. Holes n the outer walls, rats, leaky roof. Real mansion). Had to move in with my inlaws and died in a bed in their living room...
My wife does medical billing for a living and worked in a hospital for years. I know how Medicare and Medicaid work. HIPPA laws prevent me from giving examples but trust me it sucks...
I live in Tennessee (insert inbred joke here), and our version of government healthcare, Tenncare, almost bankrupted the state.
I will vote and be all on board for ANY socialized healthcare the minute someone can point to a government agency that is run right and at or under budget. I bet you I can name more poorly run agencies than you can name well run ones...

How about that Americans are tubby bitches who won't exercise? You think that might bring the average down? Supposedly, murders of people under 25 also brings the average way down. What does that have to do with health care?
But don't let logic get in your way of answering: a) England is great or b) religion is the culprit - to every question. Drone.

I don't read the graph that way, there isn't a huge difference between between the life expectancy. I also think that noone would use overall life expectancy as a gun control argument because even in the USA most people don't die of murder.
The point of the graph is to show that the US is paying nearly twice as much for no better life expectancy than most Western countries.
I would infer from that the US system is not a good one.
