Shapiro agreed with Biden that the U.S. health care system is one of the finest in the world and said if car accidents and suicides were moved then Americans have far higher life expectancy.
"In the United States of America, we are spending twice as much per capita on healthcare as the Canadians or any other major country on earth," Sanders said at the Democratic presidential debate in Houston Thursday evening.
Shapiro, the conservative founder of The Daily Wire website, said Biden was correct in his rebuke of Sanders' push for Medicare-for-all and a less costly U.S. health care system. Shapiro then went on to corroborate Biden by making the claim that if vehicular deaths, suicides and murders were not included in statistics then the U.S. would have one of the top life expectancy averages in the world.
Health care experts and left-leaning political pundits took to social media to ridicule Shapiro's statistical health care defense.Twitter user."If you remove all causes of death, statistically Americans are immortals."
