Typically, the more a developed country spends on health care, the longer its people live. The U.S., which spends the most on health care, bucks that trend. Compared to the 35 countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which promotes policies to improve social and economic well-being, the U.S. life expectancy of 78.8 years ranks 27th.

Longevity stats are all suspect. It's the gov's and insurance companies "finger on the scale" to justify lowered payouts and benefits over time.

People croak a LOT more than the cuddly stats suggest. They are numerical opiates to make people think they will live longer.
