U.S. life expectancy continues to decline

Thanks, Obamneycare. Life expectancy had been increasing almost every year, then flatlined following the enactment of that legislation, including actually dropping since the legislation hit with full force in 2014. Even the linked WaPo article admits prescriptions are a factor in the decrease.

Elevating Romneycare into Obamneycare, yes. PatNet has already other threads and comments about the many ways that legislation has caused people to die sooner and poorer, including by pushing Oxycontin addiction and diagnostic radiation and other counterproductive "services" and toxic drugs. The 2015 decline in life expectancy was the first since 1993, resulting in zero increase 2011-2015, the longest period with no increase in more than thirty years.

A tsunami of media that derive revenue from Obamneycare promoted it, so the actual results come as a surprise to people who relied on media summaries rather than reading the policy and thinking it through. It illustrates something you said in a different thread: "The most dangerous form of fake news is the kind that seems believable, but is actually wrong and/or very misleading." People are literally paying with their lives for this legislation, while at the same supporters have been misled 180 degrees about its intent, design, and effect.

United States one of the lowest among developed countries, the study showed. "The fact that we will continue to live longer means we need to think about strengthening the health and social care systems to support an ageing population with multiple health needs," said Majid Ezzati, the lead researcher and a professor at Imperial College London's school of public health. Led by Imperial scientists in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the study found that among high-income countries, the United States is likely to have the lowest life expectancy in 2030, with men and women expecting to live 79.5...
