    Universal healthcare might help but it is also–

    1. Auto accidents driven by car culture.
    2. Higher drug and alcohol abuse rates.
    3. Higher suicide rates driven by access to firearms.
    4. A culture of unhealthy eating that leads to obesity, heart disease, and increased risk of cancer.

      Point 3 is just wrong.

      Japanese don’t have easy access to guns and yet Japan has one of the highest suicide rates.

      Same with Uruguay, highest suicide rate in America without having easy access to guns.
