Almost every ‘Western’ country achieves high life expectancy AND lower morbidity that the US already, and for less costs. I’ve been to Kerala several times, and there is a fabulous health infrastructure. It starts right at the beginning, with the quality of their educational systems for children and adults. They work on the basis that averaging everyone up leads to the whole being better, including the people running the businesses. Everyone wins. Shock horror, left leaning / socialism works.
