Look at the top 10 countries that have the highest life expectancy (the US ranks 50th), the lowest infant mortality rate (the US ranks 44th), and the best-performing health-care system (the US ranks 37th). Countries that rank in the top 10 on all those indicators include Singapore, France, and Japan. Take what works from those countries to build our health care system.

Should we also adopt their political systems? Singapore isn't the land of the free. France is a mess. Well Japan is cool, but unless we all start eating rice... What if increasing life expectancy means you have to stop eating whatever you want whenever you want it? Our freedom to do whatever we want sometimes means we are free to make our lives shorter (hang gliding, obesity, unprotected sex).
