Re: Poor Britons healthier than rich Americans (4.00 / 3)
I wonder how much of that is down to different cultural attitudes to health?

Incidentially:

Robert Blendon, a professor of health policy at the Harvard School of Public Health who was not involved in the study, said the stress of striving for the American dream may account for Americans' lousy health.

"The opportunity to go both up and down the socioeconomic scale in America may create stress," Blendon said. Americans don't have a reliable government safety net like the English enjoy, Blendon said.

I guess he doesn't read Eurotrib.
