Hey! That chart reminds me of how we do education as well.
“Their low red meat intake and high fish consumption”
That what our docs say?
“At the same time, Japan has one of the highest life expectancies in the world (84 years) while its per capita health costs come in at $5,300.”
Japan also one of the most homogenous populations of any county in the UN. No bang-bangers and similar ethnic mentalities. Yes, Japan has organized crime, but random violence is rare. That’s why they live longer - statistically.
Are they counting the billions of dollars we are spending on illegal alien healthcare ?

This was part of the discussion back when Obamacare was being debated. Average life expectancy is not a very good metric for international comparisons. To take just one example, the U.S. stats are spiked by automobile accidents and homicides. U.S. healthcare outcomes jumped from near the bottom to the top of peer group countries when you control for that. The U.S. also spends much more on neo-natal and geriatric care; we do hip replacements on elderly people that the rest of the world would park in wheelchairs. We also have an adversarial legal system that drives prodigious waste due to defensive medicine to insulate against the lawyers. We also spend too much on futile high tech end of life stuff. It gets complicated.
Start by taking guns away from democrats and getting drunk drivers off the road.
Even the best medical system can’t compensate for living an unhealthy lifestyle. Genetics is the primary driver of lifespan. You can’t control that, but you can eat a healthy diet and stay active.
Italy has an even higher life expectancy (84.37yrs) but it’s not in the chart!
What people need is education, not spending.
