In an op-ed in the NY Times, Prof. N. GREGORY MANKIW tries to diminish the concerns about America's health care system. He tries to account for the longevity differences between Canadians and Americans by claiming that "Americans are more likely than Canadians to die by accident or by homicide." and those aren't health care issues. There is obviously some truth to that but it does not explain the fact that Canadians between the ages of 65-69 have a longer life expectancy than Americans.
Even worse, he claims that the amount of money we spend on health care is a good sign because it is a by-product of a wealthy society. This of course ignores the disparity between costs and outcomes between countries.
