Question

Letitia believes the United States is one of the healthiest countries in the world. Marco disagrees. Who is right and why?
a Marco because the United States isn't one of the healthiest 30 nations ranked by WHO
b Marco because the United States is only ranked as the 15th healthiest nation by WHO
c Letitia because the United States has the highest life expectancy in the world
d Letitia because the United States has the highest life expectancy in the world

Answer 1

The most accurate answer is:

**a Marco because the United States isn't one of the healthiest 30 nations ranked by WHO.**

While the United States does have significant medical advancements and high healthcare spending, it faces challenges such as higher rates of chronic diseases, obesity, and overall life expectancy that are lower than in many other developed countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) rankings often consider various health metrics, and the U.S. typically does not place highly in these rankings compared to other nations.
