Fifty-five years ago, we were one of the healthiest countries in the world," Bezruchka continues. "What changed? We have increased the gap between rich and poor. Nothing determines the health of a population [more] than the gap between rich and poor."

The bottom line is that Canada is doing something right, even if "the reasons are not totally understood," says Kominski of UCLA.

The reasons are very clear. The US is absorbing Mexicans and other refugees at an astounding rate over the past fifty years. Tens of millions of "US citizens" are actually Mexican nationals. These refugees are lowering the US' age statistics.

Socialized medicine cares for you until a certain age. UCLA is located in the center of the refugee abyss.

And you don't even want to enter the racial discrimination zone by discussion of racial types and their varying mortality rates do you?

Being able to sue your healthcare provider and being able to choose another keeps Americans healthier despite the lopsided statistics.

In Germany, another socialized medicine paradise, if you're older than 85 they stop paying for your major operations. The attitude is quite clear: "You old bag - you are a burden on our socialized system. You've lived long enough already" And just try to get a hold of a socialized system doctor to try and ask them some questions about your loved ones. I could reach the US Surgeon General easier.

And let's not forget how the French (another socialist paradise) treat their elderly - so well that they were dropping like flies by the tens of thousands while the kids go off on their vacations during the last heat wave.

UCLA is a political institution as well as an educational one. If you're really smart you learn to discern the leftist propaganda that fluorishes in the UC system when it's still a mile away.

It's just another bit of socialist propaganda that gets promoted by the leftist run news cables.

I know....Boo! Hiss "He said leftist several times in this post!" Go on and be a reactionary stooge of the mentally unstable collectivists, it's no sweat off my borgeois derriere.
