World Health Organization places USA in last place for Life Expectancy

[Traveler]

World Health Organization ranks USA in last place of any industrialized nation for Life Expectancy.  Good old USA down from a high of 79 years to 71.2 years. Other nations average 84.4 and South Koran women average the worlds high of 90 years.

If we privatize medicaid and medicare that will fix it.

I'm INterested in this topic. With the United States being the only industrialized country without single payer medical care, this is not a surprising finding. When medical care is done totally for profit, those who can't afford medical care die younger.

There are a multitude of reasons that can account for the lowered life expectancies, but I doubt it would go over well here. Just remember that correlation does not mean causation.
