Re: US Health care on the decline

And lest we forget, the 2021 data came in last month and average life expectancy in the U.S. dropped again to its lowest since 1996. We've slipped back an entire quarter-decade when medical advances and Obamacare promised us better healthcare. This is the biggest two-year decline in almost 100 years.

The decrease is supposedly driven by COVID, drug overdoses (thank you, fentanyl coming in over the border unabated), and accidents.

Life expectancy at birth for women in the United States dropped 0.8 years from 79.9 years in 2020 to 79.1 in 2021, while life expectancy for men dropped one full year, from 74.2 years in 2020 to 73.2 in 2021. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/nchs ... 220831.htm.
