Anywhere but the US. Meds are easier to get in Saudi than in the US. We want antibiotics? We just go buy them. Same for any other med you can think of. Directly from the counter at the pharmacy.

Maybe easier access to meds is why Brits and Canadians and Australians and yes even the pot-smoking Dutch live longer. If people have shorter lives then the healthcare system is not working. So what say you, any of you, to this?
I am so glad you brought up life expectancy! THANK YOU!

I dont have time right now but stick around because I will be knocking that little boondoggle out of the park in a couple of hours.

hint, life expectancy is NO indication of medical care.

geez.
