Romania's society isn't especially healthy (life expectancy is lower than the U.S.). Neither is its economy, with a per capita GDP of less than $12,000 a year.

Two possible reasons spring to mind:

  1) this is the fault of public healthcare
  2) this is because Romania was basically a Soviet
     principality for fifty years

Perhaps you should try looking at, say, Canada if you don't want an comparison that was rigged from the beginning.
