What fraction of "pre-diabetics" develop diabetes? Note that people who live a long time actually consume more health care than folks who don't. Yes, even if the oldsters are "healthy" because they get more expensive and they keep consuming. Black men in the US are pretty close to ideal from the public perspective. Their biggest contribution is that they die right around retirement, so they never see a dime of what they paid for govt retirement programs. However, not only do they pay the taxes that the rest of us pay (SSI and medicare), they also pay a disproportionate share of "lifestyle" taxes. Yes, dying from lung cancer at 65 is cheaper from the public health perspective than living to 95.
