Health Statistic, Now With Math

Krugman pointed this quote out a couple of days ago. I kind of rolled my eyes and figured I'd get back to it. But now, thanks to TYWKIWDBI, you can watch it yourself.

Yes, of course there's a reason Canadians have a greater life expectancy than US citizens, but it most certainly has nothing to do with health care. I, for one, can certainly find no flaw in his rigorous mathematical analysis. (This will be the first time I use the label "Stupid math tricks" in non-facetious way; this may not be the stupidest evar, but it's got to be near the top for those broadcast on national -or international?- television.)
