Compared with EU Europeans, yes. I don’t think it’s controversial to say that similarly-wealthy Europeans are healthier than their American counterparts.

> we should not be including them for comparison of majority outcomes

OP made a statement about the rich in America doing worse than the poor in Europe.

Pure salary is not everything. Healthcare matters. And diet/nutrition too.

It doesn't matter if your salaries are higher when your healthcare it's subpar (and more expensive) and tons of food additives are hazardous.
