U.S. Health Worse Than Nearly All Other Industrialised Countries :: U.S. citizens suffer from poorer health than nearly all other industrialised countries, according to the first comprehensive government analysis on the subject, released Wednesday.
Of 17 high-income countries looked at by a committee of experts sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, the United States is at or near the bottom in at least nine indicators.
These include infant mortality, heart and lung disease, sexually transmitted infections, and adolescent pregnancies, as well as more systemic issues such as injuries, homicides, and rates of disability.
Together, such issues place U.S. males at the very bottom of the list, among those countries, for life expectancy; on average, a U.S. male can be expected to live almost four fewer years than those in the top-ranked country, Switzer...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

Steve Forbes: Why Most Government Leaders Are Sinking The Global Economy :: The New Year will be contentious and turbulent economically, politically and militarily. Not since the 1930s and 1970s have we had such an array of floundering and feckless leaders in so many key countries. Southern Europe's recession is deepening, thanks to higher taxes and a refusal to make pro-growth structural reforms. France is determined to show that it can be even more irresponsible than Greece regarding taxation. Germany, like France, is also sliding into recession. Japan is already there.
