The United States was once a world leader for good reasons — now, we lead for many of the wrong ones.

Americans spend the most money on healthcare compared to other high-income countries, yet face the lowest life expectancy, according to a new study.

The Commonwealth Fund, a nonpartisan think tank that focuses on healthcare issues, released a new report this week, which compares the US to a dozen other developed nations, including the United Kingdom and Australia.

It revealed that US residents paid more per person, as well as a greater share of the country’s GDP, for healthcare. And despite paying top dollar, their life expectancy was just 77 years — well below the UK at over 80 years.

That’s because people in the US — at a rate of 336 per 100,000 as of 2020 — are dying more frequently of “avoidable” conditions. Case in point, nearly 43% of Americans are considered obese, whereas the average rate across 13 of the wealthiest countries is just 25%, researchers found.

The reason why we are dying and our food is being poisoned, along with our air and more or less every facet of our lives, is because of the laws of the sea. The nation is the ship and we are the cargo. When cargo is lost, there is insurance paid on that lost cargo. It’s why our birth certificates are publicly traded commodities, and that when we die, our certificates are cashed in. Germany was under that same Maritime Law of the sea, which is why when they started killing off all those people who were inconvenient, they became an economic powerhouse.

It’s why DEAGEL had the US losing nearly 2/3rds of our population because it would all be used to pay the national debt. Don’t believe me? Do the math on how many trillions of dollars we some how owe, and then remove 200 million people and then value each life at let’s say 3 million dollars a piece. Prices rise with inflation.

The truth is that the US of A is one of the few countries that do not have social medicine.
