The US, which spends twice as much on healthcare per person as the evil Canadian menace, has a rate of death from medically preventable illnesses of 109.7 per 100 000 people, a total of 330 000 deaths.
Canada has a rate of 76.83. If the US could achieve this result, 100 000 fewer people would die per year. For comparison, in 2004, the US had 42,636 traffic accident deaths (now third, behind India and China). The US homicide rate is 5.5 per 100 000 people.
