Why isn’t Congress embarrassed that even a country such as Costa Rica outranks us in healthcare? Are we, as a country, really that incompetent? Though our politicians obviously are, I prefer to think that we, the people, are not.
The statistics come from a study by the World Health Organization (WHO) done in the year 2000. They no longer conduct that study. It seems that we dropped from the previous one and the United States found it too embarrassing and pressured the United Nations to not do any more followup studies. One might be forgiven for assuming that a current study would show a further decline.
Maybe, instead of lamenting that fact, we should change our mood and celebrate it. Paul Hipp has taken that approach. I think you will enjoy his efforts. Perhaps even a temporary lightening of our mood will help us get through this mess.
Here, for your edification is Paul’s video:
You’re welcome.
The answer to the question found under the Joke of the Day is:

Well said, I dont agree 100%, however you make a great point.
Way too good! Or should I say, sad but true? Thanks to Paul Hipp and thanks for sharing, Ed!
It would be nice to share the burden of Ed but I doubt anyone that knows him would be willing to help me out.
How did I get in the middle of this?
Just lucky, I guess.
You probably should just accept credit, as you don’t get many compliments.
