US life expectancy continues to decline.
“Most peer countries rebounded by 2021, while the U.S. continued to decline.” Even the top portion in the US does worse than the top portions of other countries.

There’s a “"U.S. health disadvantage" – the fact that living in America is worse for your health and makes you more likely to die younger than if you lived in another rich country like the U.K., Switzerland or Japan.”
