I cannot dispute the actual life expectancy numbers but you cannot just compare those two numbers and relate it totally to health care. You would need to know how many people are averaged in due to auto accidents and other non-related health care deaths. Numbers don't lie but you can lie with numbers. So I am sure that both sides will use numbers that aid their point of view. I believe common sense must tell you that you cannot do what the Dems are proposing and not cause a large cost on our economy. You only have to look at every other program the government has started where the cost estimate was exceeded many times over. I see no reason we cannot have some change such as allowing one to buy insurance across state lines but do it one step at a time to see how it works. Doing a complete overhaul at one time is extremely risky and cannot be undone if it is a failure.
