This is not a fair comparison. The American medical system has to keep Americans alive while the Spanish medical system merely has to keep Spaniards alive. It is a medical miracle that Americans get to live above the age of 70 on average with their lifestyles.

Same with Italy. The national health-care system barely works, but you know what they say about the Italian lifestyle...

Also, lol I didn't even noticed USA was there before your comment.
