I hate to say it, but capitalism is failing most Americans.

Of course, not rich Americans.

Socialized medicine provides a basic floor and standard of care that helps people live healthier and longer.

The number of years people in the UK spend in good health is falling, according to a new report.

Over the past decade healthy life expectancy (HLE) has dropped by around two years to just under 61 for both men and women.

The UK is one of only five of the richest 21 countries to see HLE decline and its fall was the second steepest.

The Health Foundation, which produced the analysis, said there was a significant economic cost to this trend and the findings should act as a watershed moment.
