Between USA and western Europe? Is there a difference?

The countries with strong social-democratic parties are not the ones you think they are.

You mean social democracy?
Those are basically all in yellow on that map.

#7I get the feeling that Universal Healthcare (medicare for all) would probably level the difference? What else is responsible for the almost 4yr difference with e.g. France? Is it diet? Is the air/water worse in the US?

While genetics might play a small role for very specific reasons (eg a society thats prone to sickle cell disease will likely live shorter), there’s no such difference in large, diversified populations like US/Europe.

Food, I believe it's obvious.
France obesity rate is also lower than the US.
Large portion of americans eat like they have free healthcare.

#10Spot the "democratic socialist" countries.
The country I'm from and the country I'm living in right now are both "democratic socialist", has been called "socialist hellhole" by more people than I can count, and they both sit at +4.0 and +4.4.
So I guess the positive ones are the "democratic socialist" countries?
