Someone hopefully will send you the data, it is dreadfully bad,
especially for males aged 40 -50. They were dropping like flies
in the village (1983-87), but medical care is not a fundamental
factor, my impression is:
1. 2+ jobs to gain the bare necessities of home/food.
(Also consequence: no harmony/understanding in the family)
2. Unhealthy diet (pork/porkfat - however nice it is)
3. Smoking and drinking

To add specific data to this :
Life expectancy at birth in years
Year Men Women
1960 65.9 70.1
1970 66.3 72.1
1980 65.5 72.7
1985 65.1 73.1
1987 65.7 73.7
1989 65.4 73.8
1991 65.0 73.8
1992 64.6 73.7
Source: Table 2.35, Statistical Yearbook 1992 (1993)
KSH, Budapest.
Compared to other European countries this is very low.
For example and according to Eurostat, for men in EU12 in
1990 it was 72.7 and for women 79.3.
More specifically (for 1990):
Male Female
Denmark 72.0 77.7
Germany 72.6 79.0
UK 72.9 78.5
France 72.8 81.0
If you wish to pursue this further I would refer to Eurostat or
United nations statistical series.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care - there are thousands of businesses in Hungary now
dealing with second hand cloths from the West - and seems often better
quality second hand cloths than here, I tell you!
I have suspicions that some of it is from charity donations.
I will forward your message.
As for antiques - lots of new money about, more possibility
I think.

--The last figures I have are for 1993, except for the U. S. for which
the figure below is from 1991. We seem to be behind in our counting
of most vital statistics by about two years.
Country Death Life
rate Expectancy
Austria 10.4 76.4
Belgium 10.3 76.7
Bulgaria 11.5 72.8
Czech Republic 11.4 72.6
Denmark 11.4 75.5
Finland 9.9 75.7
France 9.3 78.0
Germany 11.0 76.1
Greece 9.4 77.5
HUNGARY 13.0 70.9
Italy 9.7 77.4
Netherlands 8.5 77.6
Poland 9.6 72.2
Romania 10.2 71.3
Russia 11.3 68.7
Slovakia 9.5 72.4
Spain 8.8 77.5
Sweden 11.0 78.1
Switzerland 9.2 78.0
Ukraine 12.5 69.9
United Kingdom 10.9 76.5
And just for comparative purposes:
Australia 7.4 77.4
Canada 7.4 78.0
Japan 7.2 79.2
U.S. 8.5 75.7
Hungary's death rates from ischemic heart disease is 240 per
100,000, second highest in Europe (exceeded only by Finland
at 243.2). As one would epect, the death rate from strokes
is high, too, but not the highest. Hungary has the highest
death rates from lung cancer among those European countries
for which I have figures. It also has a high death rate from
cancers of the stomach, although the death rate from breast
cancer is on a par with Germany, Australia, and the U.S.
Death rates from bronchiitis, emphysema, and chronic liver
disease are the highest in Europe. The suicide rate is
38.2, which appears to be the highest in Europe outside the
former Soviet Union. More people commit suicide in Hungary
in a given year than die of heart disease in Japan (37.9).
These are all 1991 figures.
Eva Durant is right in the main. Death rates and life expectancy
are affected more by heredity, life style, and environmental factors
than by the level of medical care. The level of public health
(clean water, safe sewage systems, mass innoculations, pure food
supply, etc.) is a very large environmental factor. Life style and
environmental factors are, of course, related in large part to the
general economic conditions in the country and region.
Health care expenditures are highest in the U.S. at 13.4% of
Gross Domestic Product (GDR). Canada spends 10%, France 9.1%,
and Finland 8.9%. The lowest in Europe (of those countries for
which I have numbers) is the U.K. at 6.6%. Sorry, I don't have
it for Hungary. These are 1991 figures. Belgium, Canada, Finland,
and Norway spend the largest portion of the health care "dollar"
on public health.

--I am familiar with Ryan's book on "blaming the victim." And I
stipulated that structural economic factors were important. I
didn't use the word "fault" at any point. What I was driving at,
whatever the cause of poverty, bad health, unemployment and bad
education, people themselves have to act in their own interests
rather than expect much from government as an automatic benevolent
force. Both the civil rights movement and the feminist movement
came about because government wasn't doing a benevolent job and
had to be forced into change. Government tends to exist primarily
to perpetuate itself.
>What is the point in having 3 conservative parties? One is too much
>as far as I'm concerned.
--You should meet my good friend Robert Page at Nottingham University.
He's a friend of Bill Lomax's, by the way. Page would agree with
you absolutely. He thinks that Labour has sold out its principles
simply to get votes. I'm waiting for Lady Thatcher to get up on
her hind legs and raise the question of whether or not a tiger
could really change its stripes. My own favorite for head of the
Labour Party was Margaret Beckett, but I didn't get a vote. I saw
her ask John Major three questions during Question Time, and by
the time she was done, he was sweating and spluttering. When she
was campaigning for Leader, she said that one advantage she had over
her two opponents was that she would give the Tories the opportunity
to shout, "Maggie, out!" for a change. I liked that.

Artemis Ward, the 19th century American humorist, found that his readers
didn't always know when he was saying something for effect and when he
was serious. He used to insert the word (goak) when appropriate. I've
thought of doing something like, but I won't use smileys.

--You didn't mention legal rights, but the original poster argued that
the right to have a living was conferred by citizenship. The only
rights that matter a damn are those that are enforceable somehow, not
the ones that are simply declared. We in American often confuse legal
rights with privileges or wants.

Look what it produced in Russia in 1917 and Hungary in 1918. Generally, a
different bunch of thugs takes control. I do believe in political
processes, though, and these involve changing attitudes as well as
behavior. I am guilty also in believing in enlightened self-interest
as the basis of the state, but I'm not very hot on ideology.

My daugther lives with a family in southern Hungary - the three kids
suffer from Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) - the son who is 16 is
about to undergo an operation to put a rod alongside his spine to halt
the curvature - if the younger kids (14 & 9) don't get assistance in the
future, they may end up with the same operation - it takes approximately
6-12 months to recover from the operation and is extremely painful -
anyway, I have been consulting a chiroprator in the US about possibly
bringing the kids here for several months to get treatment to help
straigthen the spine and strengthen the muscles as well - have seen posts
here about hospitals in Hungary - didn't know if there are any certified
Chiropractors in Hungary that could either treat the kids instead or
treat them after they have been here to the States - does anyone know of
good Chiroprators in Hungary that can treat scoliosis and if so, how do I
contact them for this family. I look forward to any suggestions. Thanks,
Ted Stearns,
