That's kind of the point of the study -at least what 60 minutes had to say about it. And actually isn't it true that "men are that they might have joy". Obviously a greater portion of the first world finds joy living a lifestyle that is NOT American. |

because we are 40 times the size of denmark. We also have a lot of different races and cultures. the thing canadians fail to realize is that your country is smaller in population than california

I simply said I have substantial experience living outside the US, so my experiences and viewpoints aren't limited by a lack of understanding from only living in the US. What I said was nonsense was the notion that the US being 10% less happy than the happiest nation on earth was worth worrying about; given the huge assumption that ranking is accurate to begin with. |

If the study is SOOOO inaccurate, go get the data and debunk it. Until then you have ZERO credibility. |

That's an excuse ... again I ask; if the US is the greatest country in the world why can it not solve an issue such as MILLIONS without health insurance?

I'm not agreeing with this, I'm just stating that it is the underlying (unspoken) rationale. |
