Who didn’t see this coming?? We were raised on JUNK food and we almost all smoked....HELLO!
The first figures showing the results of Obamacare.
US life expectancy has been increasing by
3 months each year for decades.
NOTHING keeps going up like that. NOTHING.
Likely skewed figures due to explosion of Third World residents imported into the US. Also related to declining standard of living.
Considering the obesity I see almost every where I go, it’s small wonder.
I suspect the real glitch up in the stats is from opiate overdose, which is skyrocketing.
There is a clear progression of prescription opiate addiction leading to a cutoff in their drug supply, and black market pills are far more expensive than most can afford. So they turn to heroin, at a quarter of the price and readily available.
But now there is an evil and murderous twist, far worse than just heroin addiction. The synthetic opiates Fentanyl (100 times stronger than pure morphine) and Carfentanil (10,000 times stronger than pure morphine), are being added to heroin to boost its strength.
And both synthetics are far cheaper to make than heroin, and much easier to smuggle. And a lethal dose of Carfentanil is measured in micrograms.
It is impossible for an average person to tell if their heroin has been doped, so a single bad batch can kill hundreds of junkies.
Self administered natural selection.
IMO, carbs and sugar from processed food consumed as encouraged by the FDA Food Pyramid and anti-fat messaging has led to widespread obesity and increased metabolic problems. You add other complicating factors like sedentary life style, smoking or drinking and you will in all likelihood end up with heart issues or a stroke.
This wasn’t supposed to happen under obamacare. Health was supposed to get better, not worse!
And Obamacare.
Same thing happened in Russia under Communism. Under Obama, some have started to ask, “Why bother?”
It’s the opiate epidemic. Scads of people under 50 dying form overdoses. You see it in the headlines every day.
Here’s the article:
“Rising fatalities from heart disease and stroke, diabetes, drug overdoses, accidents and other conditions caused the lower life expectancy revealed in a report released Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics. In all, death rates rose for eight of the top 10 leading causes of death.”

16K OD’s most were already addicted to street drugs and booze.
No one said a word about script meds causing heart disease, Osteoporosis drugs cause A-FIB. Lack of proper treatment of Thyroid issues lead to an Enlarged Heart. Lyrica will send me to the ER with Chest pain. Gardasil is banned in Spain and Japan, $6M has been paid out in death lawsuits, thousands of girls are on the lawsuit list for damages the vaccine has done to them, my granddaughter is just 1 of them. A healthy teen now has Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, a life time of pain and suffering and horrible drugs to try and control it with a wheel chair in the future.
