Life expectancy is that average amount a person in a country can be expected to live. The amount an average person in a country is going to live does not change based upon population.

Some of the highest averages are in some of the worst places, using this average as a basis for an argument for universal coverage is statistically humorous. The US woman has a longer life expectancy than women in the UK. Does this mean that our system of health care is better specifically for women and that we should therefore change the rest of the world to our system in order to save women?

Boznia Herzogovina has a higher rate than the UK, does this mean that genocide is good for the population or bad?

I've never considered life expectancy to be a perfect argument for universal healthcare, or that the UK and Canadian systems are in anyway desirable.

What I'm primarily suggesting is that Bill-O is an idiot.

I use to listen to him, but once I found out that he was more entertainment than fact, I just had to stop wasting my time. Now I listen to him if I have to go address the opposition at City Hall and want to have a little passion doing so!
he can get my blood boiling at times! Why he remains on TV is beyond my understanding, but it is all about the Benjamins!

Could i just ask where those life expectancy statistics are coming from because they sound a bit odd to me?

I was just throwing random crap out from a page with stats on it.

Although Boznia Herzogovina really does have an average life expectancy for women greater than the UK, I don't actually remember if the US does.
