Beware of the basis for the claim other countries have a longer life expectancy. One of the most influential criteria that goes into life expectancy is infant mortality. The US has a higher infant mortality rate than these other countries because we count EVERY live birth, even a 22 week premie that takes one breath and dies. These other countries only count births after 34 weeks, hence the difference in life expectancy.
Also consider that if health care was so wonderful in the National Health Insurance nations, why do royalty, political leaders and billionaires flock to NY or Boston when they have a serious problem, instead of Luxembourg
