[/quote] Healthcare seems like one area of major difference, no? Also drug addiction and suicide.[/quote] +1 The American Dream is about making money. It has been since forever. Land of "streets made of gold". In the US, you cannot retire early unless you are wealthy. Healthcare is stupid expensive here. So, people end up either not getting medical care or work till they are much much older -- both can contribute to declining health.[/quote]
