I sent this to some of my friends — mostly for the rock and roll. A few of these friends are politically…. misguided…. but they’re smart and they’re my friends.
One responded “The U.S has a higher rate of accidents and homicides per capita than many other industrialized countries. The W.H.O ranking is based on average life expectancy, which in the U.S. is affected by accidents and homicides. Net of accidents and homicides, we rank about 3rd in life expectancy. Also, infant mortality plays a major role, since in the U.S. we try to save the lives of all babies, no matter how sick, which will at times fail. We also track this as a death. In Europe, this is not the standard practice. This same outcome is not tracked as a deceased person in the statistics.”
