Actually, rankings like these tend to factor in deaths preventable by treatment, life expectancy adjustments for those born with disabilities etc...

If you have data that contradicts the generally cited research, please share...otherwise you're just full of hot air.

Some people react to info like this as if it's anti-American or something which is beyond me. For some there is terrific health care in the US, that's the the point. The question is that considering how much more it costs us, are we any better off for it?

you are full of something far more offensive....you demand facts and accuracy from others and continually lie your ass off...must be a prerequisite for liberal progressives, you claim to "lean libertarian" and then start a sentence with " what should the government enforce"....the only truth for you is the bs that furthers the agenda, your "generally cited research" is from the UN, the world's most corrupt organization....being disingenous is a game for you like Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest..all LIARS....lies through smarmy smirks to forward a radical agenda...


"The US rankings for life expectancy, infant mortality, overall health care performance etc... are all pathetically low"

THIS IS A LIE...a despicable lie.....meant to tear down our healthcare system in order to replace it with your socialist version....

For "some" there is terrific health care in the US....THIS IS AN INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING LIE...

HOW ABOUT CITING THE "GENERALLY CITED RESEARCH" SHOWING THE NUMBERS OF AMERICANS THAT ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR HEALTHCARE AND HEALTH INSURANCE ....DUMBASS

Ensign receives handwritten confirmation

This doesn't happen often enough.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."

The note was a follow-up to Ensign's questioning at the markup

Wow, you were successful in both being an ass and not adding any value to the conversation.

Perhaps you just think two negatives always do make a positive?

NO SENSE IN ARGUING WITH A COMPULSIVE LIAR

"We are also the only industrialized nation to not provide coverage to all citizens." SPENCE

ANOTHER TWISTED LIE....we provide care to all citizens and non- citizens.....there are a lot of countries where you have "coverage" and can't get "care".....I'll take care over coverage any time....

"The US rankings for life expectancy, infant mortality, overall health care performance etc... are all pathetically low." SPENCE


world life expectancy average 66.6....US... 78.1 highest Macau 84.4

Fox reported a study by the Commonwealth Fund(a longtime Universal Heaalthcare Advocate) of 7000 people in 5 countries....

By Todd Zwillich, reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD

SOURCES: “The Commonwealth Fund 2004 International Health Policy Survey of Primary Care in Five Countries,” Commonwealth Fund, Oct. 28, 2004. Cathy Schoen, vice president, Commonwealth Fund. Carolyn M. Clancy, MD, director, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The Honorable John Hutton, MP.

you couldn't find anything more up to date than 2004????


the facts just don't match Spence's mindless rhetoric
