Today, in an editorial advocating universal healthcare, the Editorial LiveJournalists discovered a new country:
It is no wonder that in 41 nations — including Japan, most of Europe, and Jordon — citizens can expect to live longer than the average American. Part of Americans’ morbidity has nothing to do with access to medical care and everything to do with their diets of empty calories and sedentary lives.
I have an advanced degree in international relations, but I had not heard of this Jordon until today. Of course, I had also not heard of the new treaty discovered by the Editorial LiveJournalists a while back either. Reading the Chron editorial page is certainly informative!
Hat tip to Matt Bramanti for spotting this new country earlier.
