No one doubts we have some of the most advanced medical technologies,

the United States, at 37th in the world for both men and women, is not
even close to having the best.


If you leave out the 20 to 30% of the US population with unhealthy
lifestyles (drugs, alcohol, violence, etc.), the numbers look quite
different. Yes I know, it's really not fair to leave out all of those
democrats, but it is what it is.


Now see...there you go riling up the pack. For shame, for shame.

But, your statement's most definitely correct. If you took out the illegal aliens, you'd help our
statistics also.

Taking out a few thousand of the monthly shootings in our Democratic run cities would *greatly* help
our statistics.
