The USA is the Worst at Preventing Death! |

reports a study showing that the USA is dead last out of 19
industrialized nations in preventing death:
"The authors note that the problem with the US is not the health
care system itself, but access to the system, with 47 million people
(of ~300 million) lacking health insurance.
"Interestingly, the US dropped five slots since 1998, and while
overall the mean preventable death rate dropped since '98 by an
average of 17 percent, the U.S. decline was only 4 percent."

Not so surprising. Our 'for profit' health care system is a mess.
