The usual explanation is it is more dangerous to live in America e.g. homicides are much spread than in Europe. It is so much more dangerous compared to Europe which always had a war starting every 15 years after 1990.

Also the health system in America is fucked. This isn't a question of socialised vs privatised system as all health systems in Europe have a mix of both. (England is a big outlier here).

Not enough to have a significant effect on life expectancy.

You mean the UK, not England, and there is a lot of private medicine here, and the NHS outsources a lot to the private sector (including almost all GP services).

It is different in terms of funding and organisation from other developed countries.

In what way is the UK an outlier?

Are you saying that there's no privatised healthcare in the UK?

If so, what would you call:
