Although the United States spends more on health care than any other country, U.S. citizens live shorter and less healthy lives than do people in other developed nations, according to a new report from thne National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine. The report also found that the mortality gap is growing because of a disproportionately higher rate of early deaths among indivudals in the United States before their 50th birthday, If you make it to 75, you actually fare better than other countries on longevity.
