CNN Now Offers Free Online Video

Drinian writes "It seems that CNN is now offering its video FREE to the public. Apparently, this is a response to pressure from FOX News who has always offered free video. Is this another nail in the coffin of paid content on the internet?"

    I was curious about this, and I decided to try to find out how well an American's life expectancy compared with the rest of the world.

    I've not done a detailed study, but according to the WHO most european countries (which tend to have 'socialized healthcare' beat the US.

    Of course there may be many reasons for this, such as genetic predisposition etc, and perhaps in the US the best healthcare is better (i.e. the rich live very long, with the statistics dragged down by the poor)... but still, I'd be a little bit careful about assuming that 'socialized' countries do worse: from the little research I've done this is not true. F'r instance, it actually looks to me as if you'd be better in Canada if you want to live longer! ;-)
