Even accounting for the difference in obesity rates, the cancer survivability vs overall spend on health care in Finland is still 2:1 for similar results on this metric.

That's the thing.

Finland, Denmark... pretty much Scandanavia is the only place where socialized programs work.

More likely then anything it's due to cultural reasons more then anything else.

Culture plays a suprising role in healthyness....

and I don't mean like healthy eating or anything... for example....
