Yet the US lags in terms of life expectancy...

And USA has the highest maternal death rate in the developed world:
https://www.npr.org/2017/05/12/528098789/u-s-has-the-worst-rate-of-maternal-deaths-in-the-developed-world

It's declining everywhere else, but sharply rising in the US.
It's not even close.

But hey, they have a great healthcare system that they like, that works!
Except for the 45 000 who die every year in the US because they can't afford it, when that number is 0 everywhere else.
It doesn't work for them. But screw poor/unlucky people.

Exactly, and the argument that medical research somehow would vanish overnight because of universal healthcare is a bogus one, but it´s popular for opponents to throw that one around.
