i get a free checkup with my insurance every year, regular doctors visits are only 20$. i also get a free pair of glasses and free exam yearly. its only free in the UK for freeloaders. there's no such thing as a free lunch. although you guys have undeniably lower costs when itemized, so its not free but cheaper for sure.
i think the life expectancy comes from better immune systems bolstered by germ exposure from centuries of bad dental hygiene.

Results The mean number of missing teeth was significantly higher in the US (7.31 (standard error 0.15)) than in England (6.97 (0.09)), while oral impacts were higher in England. There was evidence of significant social gradients in oral health in both countries, although differences in oral health by socioeconomic position varied according to the oral health measure used. Consistently higher RII and SII values were found in the US than in England, particularly for self rated oral health. RII estimates for self rated oral health by education were 3.67 (95% confidence interval 3.23 to 4.17) in the US and 1.83 (1.59 to 2.11) in England. In turn, SII values were 42.55 (38.14 to 46.96) in the US and 18.43 (14.01 to 22.85) in England.
Conclusions The oral health of US citizens is not better than the English, and there are consistently wider educational and income oral health inequalities in the US compared with England.
So that's two racist myths you've perpetuated so far ITT. Care to have a crack at telling us how Jews steal the blood of babies and go for the trifecta?
