Oh you didnt exist untill 1700 ? I'm so confused. U seemed to be so sure, I hesitated to bash again (and again and again).

Your data about incomes are just theorical. It doesnt consider statistical distribution for example. And it was before the crisis. Let's take a look in next 10 years for fun.

Some other data:

Life expectancy (2003) for men and women:
1 Japan 78,0 84,7
2 Canada 78,7 83,8
3 Australia 78,9 83,0
4 France 77,6 84,5
5 United Kingdom 75,8 80,5
6 USA 74,6 79,8
7 China 69,6 72,7

-----------------------------
Human Development Index (2009)

1. Norway 0.971 (▲ 1)
2. Australia 0.970 (▲ 2)
3. Iceland 0.969 (▼ 2)
4. Canada 0.966 (▼ 1)
5. Ireland 0.965 (▬)
6. Netherlands 0.964 (▬)
7. Sweden 0.963 (▬)
8. France 0.961 (▲ 3)
9. Switzerland 0.960 (▬)
10. Japan 0.960 (▬)
11. Luxembourg 0.960 (▼ 3)
12. Finland 0.959 (▲ 1)
13. United States 0.956 (▼ 1)

Tell me some other jokes plz about the USA, I like it so much.

there's a mistake in my previous post.
China is not 7th for life expectancy. It was just given as an other example.

You said we weren't wealthier than you...........you cited wikipedia as your source...........I disproved you USING YOUR SOURCE.

What aren't you getting? Am I arguing with a 15 year old?

oh gosh, how can I go on living in a country whose HDI is only .956. clearly i should move to france where it's a whole .005 higher.

also where was the wealth thing disproved? did I miss that?

and who the fuck wants to live in France for 84.5 years???

Thrax, this article says your claim is more or less wrong (or at least it says your claim is irrelevant).

I don't believe you that it's the single largest driving force. I don't believe you have any evidence (though I didn't read your links in full detail because I'm too lazy...just give me the relevant part). And I don't believe that doing tort reform would curb that cost even if it was the single largest driving force in increased health care expenses.

GIVE ME SOME EVIDENCE THRAX!

Xenophobic and racist and nationalist reactions are the best thing one can await from americans I'm afraid.
Nothing new there.

Can't find anything specific, but I can't find two different "studies" that agree either. Meh...

WHO DO I BELIEVE UGB???
