True, JR, Jonah should be ashamed of his misuse of health statistics here.  While he correctly notes that life expectancy can be affected by lifestyle, he fails to note the obvious--  that there is a better stat than this to estimate comparative quality of national health care:
The infant mortality rate.  (the number of babies who die within their first year per 1000. born)
In this one we do even worse.  According to the CIA's list of  all 225 countries (even tiny ones)  we rank 56, or about 32 looking at only the larger nations, coming in between Serbia and Bosnia Herzogovina.
Our IM s est. for 2016 was 5.8.  The world leader (other than Monaco) was Japan 
-at 2.0.  In short, an American baby was almost three times as likely to die as a Japanese one.
After Japan came Iceland 2., Norway 2.5, etc.  Denmark was 4.
And poor miserable Afghanistan was last at 112.8

But it should be noted that family lifestyle certainly is important, with Scandinavia and Asia probably being superior.
