The US health care system is killing people!

Seems nutrition and lifestyle would play a bigger part. The best healthcare system in the world is completely useless if a person refuses to eat right and exercise.
To take life expectancy statistics and assume that they are an index of the quality of a country's health care system is absurd.

Americans are living longer than ever, but not as long as people in 41 other countries.
"Something's wrong here when one of the richest countries in the world, the one that spends the most on health care, is not able to keep up with other countries," said Dr. Christopher Murray, head of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.... "The starting point is the recognition that the U.S. does not have the best health care system. There are still an awful lot of people who think it does."
