As I was working tonight, I half listened to a PBS program on universal health care. It contrasted the British system (which is starting to disintegrate), the Japanese system, the German system, the Taiwanese system, and then I turned it off.
The best system(s) was the Japanese/Taiwanese, then the German, then the British, then the American… PBS, for some reason, did not examine successul heatlth care system in Africa: Hint: There are none.
So, what are the underlying populations like: and remembering that co-variables with IQ are better health, lower infant mortality, etc.
Japanese/Taiwanese have the highest IQ, longest lived people; Germany has the second highest IQ, second longest lived people; Britain has the third highest IQ, third longest lived people; and US the fourth highest IQ, the fourth longest lived.
Here, low IQ only means low compared to the majority population:Japan has the smallest percentage of low IQ, short lived people; Taiwan has no significant low IQ population; Germany (with Middle Easterners) has a higher percentage of low IQ, short lived people; Britain (with Commonwealth immigration) has a higher percentage of low IQ, short lived people; and the US (with a looming majority of blacks, hispanics, etc.) has a highest percentage of low IQ, short lived people.
So, why is there a health care crisis in the United States? Is it implicit in the nature of the population?
This explains something I have long wondered about: Why American oppose “socialized medicine”? Answer: Higher IQ people resent subsidizing the rapidly growing lower IQ populations. They cloak that agenda by being against “socialism”.
The health crisis in the United States is structural and arises from the nature of the underlying population.
