But lets keep arguing about it for another 20 years, cause that's more fun than fixing things.

Wonder if this is skewed by the large number of immigrants from 2nd/3rd world countries.

Profit profit profit! Doesn't matter what it is we must make profit off it! This country is fucked.

Russia is not even on the plot, coz life expectancy there is like 66 years if you are lucky and not in opposition to putin
poogie67
Insurance litigation is the culprit.

This is what happens when the govt needs your 401k for things besides you

Well the stats are thrown off because of all those poor people dying. Those damn poors. Making us look bad.

Sleep. Nutrition. Exercise. I bet the U.S. is horrible in each of those categories. That's the individual's fault.

I agree our basic diet is terrible on a cultural level. High fat, high carb coupled with big money in sedentary work and entertainment.

Inefficient expensive for-profit system. Also, high inequality. The US is pretty much a developed and a developing country rolled into one.
Spacier
I'm sorry, where is the inequality? The US has the best healthcare! If you can afford it, you can use it. Equal opportunity.
Mojojoejoejoejoe
Is this sarcasm?
ConductorOfTheStruggleTrain
This is what happens when the government's main policy is "fuck everyone except us"
bippityboppitybuttsex
The chart seems to suggest, 'especially us'

I'm all for healthcare reform here in the US, but life expectancy is a bad way of expressing that. What's 3-4 years, really?
ieatkittensforfun
If your paying double or triple the cost. It's enough to make America the laughing stock of Healthcare.
wolfhair
Oh yeah, it's totally bonkers. Also; "you're".
SanSamis
That must be why so many Americans travel to other countries to receive healthcare and so few people from other countries come to the US
dohcohv
A lot of people come to the US for healthcare. There is a lot more funding for experimental treatments.
SanSamis
It was meant as a snide comment. Sarcasm.
thefeckamisigningupwithfacebook
They come for either experimental treatments OR to give birth there. Seriously. Look up number of citizens of the PRC who had their babies..
thefeckamisigningupwithfacebook
In California. Not because health care is the best (these are rich Chinese- they usually go to Singapores 5star hospitals). Nope, they want
thefeckamisigningupwithfacebook
Kids who can claim US citizenship. Just one. Just in case they need to move assets outside of China. But that's a shit load of your...
thefeckamisigningupwithfacebook
Foreigners coming to the US right there.
yummmmm
think you were trying to be sarcastic but 2008 study found 85K people traveling to America for treatment and 850K americans traveling abroad
bigkingdingaling
What about the people traveling from South America but never leaving?
yummmmm
that's...not a thing. there's socialized medicine in some parts of south america and far cheaper care in mexico.
bigkingdingaling
So who are all the people walking across the border daily?
yummmmm
whut? they’re damn sure not late-stage chemo patients
