    Why is it that California, Hawaii, Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut which happen to be traditionally blue states were at the top of the life expectancy list and South Carolina, WV, LA, Miss, Arkansas , Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky traditionally red states happen to be on the bottom? And now more then ever red state politicians are supporting additional ways to shave off all Americans lives….Just wish I could figure the logic of this …They sure are gullible!

    Huge chunk of Medicaid funding cut by the Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will certainly put low income American in harms' way. These folks live in the red states and rely on the Medicaid and social assistances will suffer from Trump's "big, beautiful bill" if it passed in the Senate. Rural and Southern red states low income folks will get hit the most.

    Trump administration aims to cut $880 billions funding from the Medicaid and in the same time lower trillions of the tax for rich Americans, is that how the majority of Americans voted for Trump in last November? Ideology vs basic necessities, it appears mind boggling to the least.

    Average income and education usually are factors into life expectancy in the US, elsewhere not as stark but here it seems to be more common. More important it is the level of activity, the use of your mind and for me it is meal prep and thought help a ton.

    US has lower life expectancy than other rich countries because of many reasons.  Gun violence.  More car accidents.  Vaccine hesitancy.  Abortion ban.  Drug overdoses. Unhealthy life style.  Weaker social safety net.  Less access to healthcare. More stress. Poverty and income inequality.

    One big reason is people in those states tend to be more magas and magas dont listen to doctors and scientists. They tend to listen to politicians for their medical advice. Shows like fox news are killing people with their awful advice and the damage that clown RFK with his half eaten brain is gonna do to the American public, will be unreal.  He just recently said hes gonna block govt research scientists from publishing in the worlds leading medical journals.  Just want to keep the public stupid and in the dark.  Why the country is letting folks like this try to destroy our health is insane

    Actually the numbers would be higher considering the increase in mortality to the young (and gun deaths, auto deaths, and opiate deaths have all increased significantly among young adults in the US, then add in the  pandemic which I’m sure drag down a nation’s average lifespan!

    In war on truth, Trump administration censors science and scientists.  CNN reveals that Kennedy MAHA report is full of errors and based on some studies that don't exist.

    Shows like fox news are killing people with their awful advice and the damage that clown RFK with his half eaten brain is gonna do to the American public, will be unreal.  He just recently said hes gonna block govt research scientists from publishing in the worlds leading medical journals.  Just want to keep the public stupid and in the dark.  Why the country is letting folks like this try to destroy our health is insane

    In war on truth, Trump administration censors science and scientists.  CNN reveals that Kennedy MAHA report is full of errors and based on some studies that don't exist.
