Sicker and Sicker

The latest report of the American Public Health Association does not give high marks to the citizens of America and its health system. We have made no progress in the past few years; we're still fat (25% of the population), smoke too much (1 in 5 deaths is attributable to smoking) and are uninsured (46,000,000 of us). People in Japan have the longest life expectancy at 75; we rank 27th at 69. We're second to last in child health. The list goes on.
