And, compared with other developed nations, U.S. life expectancy doesn't measure up. In a report released Tuesday by the National Research Council, experts describe U.S. life expectancy as a "poor performance" compared with many other countries given the fact that the U.S. spends far more on healthcare than any other nation. For U.S. males, life expectancy at birth increased by 5.5 years from 1980 to 2006. That's good, but it still lags behind the average life-expectancy gains of 21 other countries. For U.S. women, life expectancy at birth increased by about three years from 1980 to 2006, which also ranks much lower than other developed nations.

To: Godwinson (#0) interesting read - they blame obesity and smoking, noting that even though smoking rates are declining, we're still dealing with the effects of heavy smoking in the 80s and before. Of course, we're falling behind countries that guarantee health care as well. I know - let's repeal the ACA and mock Michelle Obama's efforts to reduce childhood obesity, that will turn us all into Happy Qwanzas!

The Swiss system offers some of those choices, and some health economists say their system works better. "I think we're going to get there soon, not eventually," said Regina Herzlinger, a Harvard Business School professor who's studied the Swiss system. "The major reason is, most people agree that employer support for health insurance is just not going to continue." "Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
