  27.  @rafm3068  We are repeatedly brow-beaten with claims about utopian life in Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Canada when it comes to healthcare/NHS.  So yes, these claims are very common in the public discourse in the US and must be refuted with mathematical analyses. Life expectancy is higher in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia, Iceland, South Korea, Israel, Sweden, France, Malta, Canada, Norway, Ireland, New Zealand, Netherlands, and Luxembourg when compared to Finland. Would you conclude that all of those countries have better healthcare than Finland? Some do, some don’t. United States (79.05 years), with its 335 million population, is within 3.26 years of Finland (82.31 years) for life expectancy. From a mathematical and statistical analyses position, that tells me the US has something better overall that is able to maintain such a high life expectancy over such a massive and ethnically-diverse population. The US is the only top 10 nation among the largest populations in the world with high life expectancy. Japan, with its 11th highest population, is the only other high life expectancy population of the top 60 nations in the world (that range from 73.65 - 85.16 years). None of the top 10 world populations fall within the top 60 except for the US. This is immensely-significant from a mathematical perspective. We typically see ethnic factors playing a big role in life expectancy, even when standard of living might be lower, though clean water and modern medical services do play some role that can’t be ignored. The question is, if I applied US healthcare options to Finland, would Finland’s life expectancy increase? Since there are far more specialists and healthcare options in the US, more EMS services even in States with smaller populations that Finland, I propose that Finland would benefit with higher standard of living by continuing to adopt more US healthcare options. I also would expect to see higher standard of living if more people in the US had access to summer cabins and sauna baths, but the cabin option just isn’t a reality because of population density and geography in many areas.
