The question is "why is the UK healthier than the United States?"
The JAMA study noted that England spends about 40% as much per capita for the health care of its residents.
• The English drink more than the Americans.
• They smoke about as many cigarettes.
• The British health authority, the National Health Service, is roundly criticized for its inefficiency.
• English cuisine is not renowned for its healthful attributes.
