One thing that seems to get missed in the health care debate, many countries spend less than the US on health care yet, they still have better or at least equal health outcomes. Matthew Yglesisias points this out with regards to Mexico, where in fact Mexico is surprisingly close to the US in health outcomes despite being a fatter country than the US and being substantially poorer.
I wonder if the afternoon siesta in Mexico doesn’t compensate for the lack of health care spending and the poor diet.
