U.S. Life Expectancy on the Decline Compared to Other Wealthy Countries

It's no longer Covid, although Covid among white Americans was likely a cause during the pandemic as a result of conservative resistance to vaccines and masking. The continuing decline is mostly among people of color and with white Americans suffering from obesity and other poor health styles.

Even before Covid, life expectancy fell in the USA three out of four years. There are some other places that it also fell, like Syria, but very few other places.

Life expectancy among Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, etc. was all rising. Life expectancy among the better educated, and even just poorly educated urban voters rose. The group that lost life expectancy is most tightly correlated with trump supporters. Not the people that begrudgingly vote for trump, but the people who militantly support him.

There are more deaths from this than from AIDS. The reason no one noticed is the deaths are not from one cause. They are from obesity, drugs, drinking, smoking, poor driving, suicide, gun accidents, etc. They are from poor personal decisions.

Something is causing trump supporters to make poor personal decisions and die.

Do you approach all things in life with the thinking capacity of a 3 year old?
 
Almost every Eastern Europe nation is declining but China is losing the most and soon won’t be the most populous nation

Japan, Greece, and Italy are also declining

The culture of death, another export from America, is sweeping the globe.
 
So the Democrats lied and Obamacare is a failure. Dems destroyed the existing system.

One thing about Obamacare was it did not destroy the existing system. My insurance is the same type of insurance I had before Obamacare.

And I do not think you can blame Obamacare for trump voter's poor personal decisions, especially their decision not to get medical coverage.

There is a real difference between declining births, and declining life expectancies. None of those places have declining life expectancies.

Not having children, and living longer is not a culture of death. It is also not a culture of birth. America is not the leader in declining birth rates, and is almost alone in declining life expectancies.

Well, we can no longer speak about the dangers of obesity, because Lizzo said so. Get fat, live as long as you can and "enjoy" it. Just stop talking about life expectancy, because you are "fat shaming" undeserving people who may even be on the rainbow spectrum so you're doubly "violent"...

If by "not having children" you mean killing 65 million babies then I agree. This is definitely a culture of death. We actually have idiots in this country telling people that being a fat slob doesn't mean you aren't unhealthy. Those same morons tell people that losing weight is fat shaming. Look I don't mind taking to morons generally but when they start to fly off into fantasy land like you seem to be doing here, I'm not sure it's worth talking anymore.

There are a lot of gangs in rural areas? Pre-Covid, life expectancy were rising in cities, and falling in rural areas.

We have no post-covid numbers anyway

2022 is the last full year, and the third leading cause of death was still covid.

Heart disease still being #1 - so I will always blame our obesity epidemic first and foremost

"President Obama's oft-repeated promise that "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it" is 2013's "lie of the year," according to the fact checkers at the Tampa Bay Times' nonpartisan PolitiFact project."

And you're making shit up about Trump voters.

Making shit up seems to be all you do, Walt.
 
America does not have universal healthcare. Many cannot afford doctors or afford the drugs they need. We also have the least regulations on food. We are trying to clean the air, land and water, but corporations are halting progress. We have made a mess.
