I love drums:
It turns out that there are a number of problems in determining life expectancy numbers. As I mentioned the other day, in some cases, nations aren’t reporting their “deaths” correctly.
And THAT could make a huge difference.

So, remember during the health care debate..that whole thing about America ranking like, what, 38th or some nonsense?
Well, remember, that ranking is determined by weighing several factors, among them are infant mortality statistics, availability of medical care and life expectancy.
Life Expectancy. Seems fair, right? I mean, what better way to measure your country’s medical/health care than to measure the single best outcome…how long a person lives.
And guess where America ranks? Guess who’s #1?
