America’s over-100 crowd is booming

The Sacramento Bee reports:

According to the 2010 U.S. census, America is home to the world’s largest population of centenarians, more than 53,300 people 100 years old and older.

That number represents an astonishing 66 percent increase over the nation’s centenarians in 1980. During the same time, the country’s total population grew by 36 percent.

Yet, "progressives" tell us that America's health care system isn't as good as Europe's.
