Life expectancy is low in America because most people can't afford healthcare. If you can afford healthcare and you're under 30 lev seems probable good odds. Maybe even 50 year olds but it always just comes down to health care cost

Lack of resources kills you early not just from a lack of healthcare. It means more stress, less opportunity to engage in healthy activities, less likely to eat properly, less likely to sleep properly. More likely to have drug addiction.

It's one of the many ways Boomers had the end of continuous improvement (in US where each gen had it better than previous). We millennials were raised in that comfy environment, making us poorly prepared for the hard times that set us up for.
