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

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.

That will not work with the current establishment within America.  When it comes to the people who are dying either during childbirth, child mortality or day to day living because they cannot afford healthcare, those are either poor, of another ethic base or white trash.  They are not recognized as really True Americans so their deaths mean little and actually help thin the herd within the US.  You really have to look at it from the Dems and Republicans side where the majority of them are millionaires and above.  They love to employ those low class citizens but provide them with healthcare which cuts into their profit margin, oh hell no!!
