Ordered by rough annual differences per 100,000:
Infant mortality: 540-340=200 (only considering infant population)
Obesity: 69-29=40
Smoking: 92-58=34
Opioids: 14-1=13
Road accidents: 11-4=7
Suicide: 16-11=5
Homicide: 5-1=4
Infant mortality is either by far the largest rate difference if you consider the relevant population to be only infants or the smallest rate difference if you consider the relevant population to be the population at large

Shocking how quickly opioids became a major life expectancy difference in a couple decades while every other rate other than suicide is decreasing over time, especially since it's nowhere as prevalent in the other countries
Promising how much smoking rate has dropped in America, obviously some lag so hopefully that brings smoking mortality down a lot in the future
