Canadians lead longer, healthier lives than Americans

Compared to their neighbours south of the border, Canadians live longer,
healthier lives. Research published in BioMed Central's open access
journal Population Health Metrics has found this disparity between the
two countries, suggesting that America's lack of universal health care
and lower levels of social and economic equality are to blame.


Probably true but for the assumption it is health care.

Fewer Canadians can afford drugs, weed, booze and smokes. Lower wages,
higher gasoline costs and higher taxes make us walk more.

More excercise shoveling snow as few of us can afford snow blowers. And
we get more snow. Many row canoes because they be cheaper than 225 HP
inboards.


what's funny about the right is that when they talk about 'socilalist'
changes to US healthcare, they preach our healthcare is PERFECT. it's
FREE MARKET. we have the BEST.

when it's shown this isnt true, then healthcare is USELESS. you dont
NEED IT...

propganda...not facts...is what the right preaches.


Given you have never traveled and lived elsewhere makes your opinion
kind of myopic and sheepish.
