Over the next half-century, Sweden and the U.S. diverged politically. Sweden built a large welfare state with a national health service, while the U.S. did not. The result? There was basically no change in the life expectancy gap. Swedes now live 2.7 years longer.<br /><br />Again, huge policy differences. Not huge outcome Jay B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11211639.post-53933161830721419022010-05-05T14:22:19.663-04:002010-05-05T14:22:19.663-04:00Gracias as usual.
