We have a much more diverse population than the UK (though you seem to be trying hard to catch up). The WHO stats I saw corrected for that, and pointed out that even in the average white population the mortality rate was higher than in Europe, whilst in your minority populations it was several times higher than in ours. Maybe thats to do with the practice of defensive medicine there. And ostensibly there are more drug users in Europe than the US too. You guys are paying vastly more than we do for at best the same results, and in some cases worse than we get, and yet the HMOs have got enough of you convinced they do a better job than "socialised medicine" !
