Actually, that is not correct. Life expectancy in London is 75.2 years while non-Loneon UK is probably closer to 81 years. Yet the UK has a virtually uniform healthcare system. If you really believe that healthcare systems drive life expectancy, please account for the much lower life expectancy in London as compared to the rest of the U.K.  [/quote]

That's silly.  Of COURSE healthcare systems drive life expectancy!  That doesn't mean that there aren't other factors.  If the life expectancy in London is lower, there could be a myriad of reasons.  Pollution, violent crime, poverty, lifestyle differences, factors related to immigrant groups or genetic issues, etc.  London is an incredibly diverse city, possibly different than the rest of the UK, and possibly people who have health issues are drawn to living there?  Who knows.  I was reading the other day that Pakistani immigrants in some country in Europe are so inbred that it has a major impact on health of babies and infant mortality and fertility.  Weird, random stuff like that.  But healthcare is a huge part of it.[/quote]
