Funny... In this article, "most measures" of quality of life all relate to healthcare. I was under the impression that there is more to life than the couple of hours a year you spend in a doctor's office.
Your article is nonsense. I could make any country in the world rank #1 for "quality of life" if I based quality of life on factors favoring that country. The authors and sponsors of the report are plainly motivated to reach a certain conclusion in furtherance of their preexisting bias.

Not to be too provocative, but given America's absolute wealth doesn't this suggest that the average American is basically an idiot to accept these conditions. Isn't it clear yet to the majority of Americans that the "American Dream" of their mythology is, in fact, one big con?

Not to be too provocative, but given Canada's constant widespread conceit regarding their supposed superiority over Americans, doesn't this thread suggest that the average Canadian is basically an idiot to laud the findings of a report without understanding the basic concept known as "confirmation bias"?

Will Americans ever get it that the capitalist, free market system they've been indoctrinated to think is the best in the world is, in fact, a scam to rip off the majority of Americans who clearly are suckers?

Any evidence that lassiez-faire economy is a "scam"? I didn't think so...
Any evidence that we actually have that? (considering the government frequently and extensively tampers with business)

The rich get richer thanks to the government they bought. The poor get poorer. And, the middle class gets sold to the Chinese, Indians, and the oil industry.

Any proof of any of this?

And most Americans just watch the TV as they're bled of everything of value, including their lives.
How sad. How sad. How sad.

How sad that someone would bother to so blatantly troll based upon a report that anyone with a brain not mushed by Molson XXX and poutine could see is meaningless...
