"Percent of population covered by public health care:"
it should be percent of population with HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, who cares if it is public or not for those comparative purposes? I imagine the US would rate pretty damn bad in TAHT comparison as well... why throw in a bogus stat to falsely fluf up things that need no fluffing?
3) Is that study saying that Sweden is the ONE country with more obese people than the US? Really? wtf?? the swedes must have the world's best PR firm... (responsible for 4 decades worth of Swedish erotica educational dramas...)
or... alternatively... one half of swedish woman are considered abnormally slender, once you discount the boobs.
