Cause "hundreds of years" doesn't seem to match US well, and how do you know that people in US lived a longer life than people in China in early early Qing dynasty? You used black slaves to work and treat them as worthless animals, were they Americans too? You killed off tens of millions of natives American Indians, were they considered Americans?Oh so now you are transposing the country name with a continent name.

It's better to just say 200 years but not hundreds of years, hundreds of years sound sort of misleading. and 200 years is not even a footnote in the Chinese history book.We have been a country for over 200 years and even before that a British colony so I'm not sure why your math skills doesn't consider that hundreds of years.

Not very high actually, we are still improving, you are declining, even in life expectancy, the speed of our rising can never keep up with your falling.Sort of like your current high life expectancy being just a footnote in time.

You are only rising because the West has shown you the way...not vice-versa. Without Western influence you would still be happily working as farmers in the same rice fields behind an oxen team as hundreds of your previous generations with a life expectancy consistent of a poor 3rd world country.
Countries rise and fall in the history, you sound like that China had never rose in the past, need to remind you again, your US has only been around for 200 years but not every country's history is that short.You are only rising because the West has shown you the way...not vice-versa.

What a silly thread.
And a silly post.
History and contributions to human knowledge are a continuum.
Without the Chinese you probably wouldn't be enjoying your 4th of July fireworks.
At a minimum.
In regards to the topic of the thread.
Yea, its a joke about medication prices in the US.
Or for that matter any pricing in the healthcare field.
The system is shaped by those with a clear agenda to enrich themselves and pay lip service to the public good.
Case in point, COVID travel nursing and the nursing shortage.
Defies any common sense.
but it creates higher GDP figuresUS drug pricing is a joke. Yes they have the best r&d and invent most useful meds but they have to come up with a better way to healthcare.
