'Live free and die'? The sad state of U.S. life expectancy
Life expectancy around the world decreased in 2020 due to COVID-19. Most peer countries rebounded by 2021, while the U.S. continued to decline.

"Two years difference in life expectancy probably comes from the fact that firearms are so available in the United States," Crimmins says. "There's the opioid epidemic, which is clearly ours – that was our drug companies and other countries didn't have that because those drugs were more controlled. Some of the difference comes from the fact that we are more likely to drive more miles. We have more cars," and ultimately, more fatal crashes.
Guns, and Repubes restricting access to affordable healthcare. It's quite simple to solve - get rid of Repubes. Vote them out. But people are ignorant, just the way Repubes want them.
