“Which “we” aren’t living longer?, You’re using statistics taking into account drug dealer and other black on black criminal violence.”
thats partly true. Though they are US citizens too.
however even for US whites the life expectancy is 78.9 Yrs is lower than most developed countries
“Which other countries have a plethora of hospitals to compete…”
Please try to avoid vagaries.
Again compete regarding what Not many think of Bellevue as a “best hospital” yet for trauma they are the msot advanced (there is a reason why it is Bellevue and not Cornell that has an OR on standby when the President is in town).
For a bad burn r”l skip Bellevue and go to Jacobi or State Island University hospital. I cant help but notice that none of these hospitals are on your list of the “best” that you listed.
Of course it is possible that when you take everything together those hospitals are “the best” given a composite of bench marks but you cant judge a basket of apples based on the best apples. We have to look at the overall system. I will grant that it is possible that our “best hospitals” (as judged by outcome, etc) are the better than other countries.
Nonetheless our infant mortality is the highest (and you cant blame this on black on black crime)
our mortality ammenable to healthcare is (by far!) the highest
Ill accept the possibility that those hospitals have better infant mortality than the World average, that dosnt chaneg the fact that AS A WHOLE we do worse.

Again I dont know the specifics. But As an Internist in NY I have ordered many walkers and commodes (though not wheelchairs) I wasnt aware that Medicare varied by state.
