Yes! But only if I can walk myself to the bathroom, Pablo. (Health span > life span). Same to you as well. If only Ćepavi and Šljivovica helped us get there....
Access to affordable health care, accessible nonprocess food, and cooking habits are recurring themes in public health. It's interesting to add the aging angle.
Theres absolutely nothing in this research about the causes of the difference (if one accepts those results). In particular there's nothing there about the US health system and in fact, if youre the top wealth quartile in US your access to quality health care is much much better than similar in Europe. Just look at cancer detection and survival rates.
Radek, I'm afraid your assertion isn't accurate. The research does, in fact, offer several reasons, including Europeans’ much easier access to general healthcare. But I mentioned Healthcare, too, in my post. It's an eminently defensible argument, if you ask me (which I realize you did not.) As I mentioned in the post, the American system is an enormous, profit-focused business that is designed primarily to treat disease rather than prevent it in the first place, which is how you end up with people going to the emergency room just to see a primary care doctor, or, to contradict your point a bit, wealthier people who may have access to a primary care physician but then can't get follow-on treatment that the physician prescribes for them because the health insurance company decides to deny further treatment because it costs the company too much. Have you ever had to appeal a denial of medical services? I have, more than once.
This happens all the time in the United States, to people regardless of their wealth.
Zdravo. Sarma. Ćepavi. Slivovica.
May you live to a 100
