Why is Switzerland CHE?
What has been the age change in the last four years?
Standard of living and longevity is inversely correlated with birth rate.
The most ‘fertile’ places are places you don’t want to be.
Do any of the nations in which life expectancy is longer than the US is have socialized medicine?
US life expectancy differs enormously by race and ethnicty:
Asian-Americans: 83.5 years
Hispanics: 77.8
Whites: 76.7
TOTAL POPULATION: 76.4
Blacks: 71.2
Native Americans and Native Alaskans: 65.6

Life-expectancy has been falling for all demographic groups during recent years.

The fact that Hispanics have a higher life expectancy than whites might appear curious.
This strange fact reflects that foreign-born persons who are here (whether legally or illegally) have a higher life expectancy.
see:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8426263/figure/fig2/
To explain this: (1) foreign-born person who die as young children never get here, so there is a survivorship bias; and (2) foreign-born persons who come here are healthier than those who don’t, so there is a self-selection bias.
Finally as to why Blacks and Native Americans have low life expectancy, possibly it could be because of the break-down of the family, welfare dependency, more lives of crime, and alcohol and drug abuse.
These reasons, in an opposite way, could explain the amazing longevity of Asian Americans.
The USA is filled to the brim with welfare crack whores. Throw them out of the mix and you would see the USA come much higher. /spit
Saw an older comedian clip the other day. Said he was 73 and the average life expectancy for a male is 76. Then said the average life expectancy for a woman was 86... Said he was thinking about transitioning!!
“”””For example, among high-income countries, American women are the most likely to struggle with paying their medical bills, and are also the most likely to skip needed care due to costs.
America’s outlier status on this measure likely stems from the large number of working-age women who lack health insurance — nearly 10 million — as well as the high copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that many U.S. women enrolled in commercial health plans face when seeking care.

If only we had free health care for everybody, then all would be perfect.
Unless this article provides data on the following it’s garbage so-called journalism.
1. Incomes for health care workers - you cannot do a fair comparison on health care costs unless you compare incomes.
2. Where did these people live & their ethnicities for the numbers? America is a country of immigrants. When they put out these numbers & group all of the Mexicans, Chinese, Indians, Hatians, Cubans, Venezuelans, and others then yes it’s the USA hut it doesn’t tell the whole story, especially when we factor in the millions who did not have the prerequisite that the laws require for all immigrants before they have their immigration consular interview. They are supposed to have their immigration preparation medical exam. It’s like how if you want money from a bank you have to come in prepared with enough in balance & not just bring in a gun & threaten to kill the teller if they don’t give you a big pile of dough.
This article is trying to sell universal healthcare.
Besides, anyone’s “life expectancy “ does not ensure a long life.
