My SIL was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had her breast removed. Unfortunately the cancer moved to her brain and she died from brain cancer.

My city keeps data on life expectancy by postal zipcode.

If my zipcode was the US average, the US would be #1 of all countries by about 2 years.

Its all about not being a bum and the US has far too many of them. Mostly in Blue cities.

Last time I posted this someone came back with a statistic that if you took the life expectancy data of California and New York out of the US average the US would be second to Hong Kong. Don’t quote me on that one.

Its no surprise since 100k are dying of fentanyl yearly that we know of. Also the Covid deaths must be a factor in death rates. Feel sure deaths rates will be revised for a final determination of American life expectancy.

Yeah, socialized medicine must be the reason, not all that drug use and gang warfare.

I once read that if you removed the stats for black people from the US life expectancy, we would be near the top of the list. Violent criminals and poor health choices among poor inner city blacks significantly drops the entire US average. In other words, if you are not a poor inner city black person, your life expectancy is excellent.

Notice how they divide people into identity groups or lump them all together depending on the result they want to get?

My son got quiet the education working at the hospital....said he never realized how certain minority groups run there for every little thing and expect top care with or without Insurance. Many are drug issues....they come there faking illness or pain to get a hit of drugs....or od. Then drunks and domestic assaults.....and gays show up with their fannies plugged with whatever.

We now have a de facto NHS.

Nuff said.

My guess is that homicide and drug addiction and overdoses have a something to do with it. Defund the police, black lives matter and drug legalization all have uniquely negative consequences for the USA.

Middle class (and upper class) Americans live much longer. Those lower down on the socio economic ladder make poor lifestyle choices (diet,exercise,drugs,alcohol,smoking) and they’re more prone to be the victims of violence.

I worked in the ER of a major,big city,hospital...for years. I could tell you stories! Everything from an 8 month pregnant woman having been shot in the head by her husband (it was national news at the time) all the way down to a fag having a light bulb stuck in his...well,you know.

And many,many things in between.

I wonder if you are referring to the Stuart case back in 1989. If so, that was a horrible incident all around.

Yes, it is and I think most of us feel sorrow when we hear about it.

I think it has to do with overall decline in quality of life in the U.S. Violence, drugs, government corruption-mismanagement, mass immigration from third world countries (of course we get the worst of the lot). Our civil society is being undermined by leftist ideology. This strains resources. Socialized medicine would only make it worse. And no jackasses, it’s not climate change either.

Hey - if not "Divide and Conquer" then:


"Lump and Conquer"

- "depending on the result they want to get..."

The title says it all. Low Lifes bring down the Life Expectancy of the nation.

They lower life expectancy by poisoning our environment with products that corporations tell us are safe -

PLASTICS

- plastics in our clothes, plastic containers leaching plastics into our food and water. We live in a plastic world and it's Rockefeller poison that causes cancer in late life.
