I mean, in France we have a 'life expectancy' metric (82.5) and a 'life expectancy with good health', which is on average, the age someone born in 2023 will reach before getting daily pain or start loosing independence. The number is 76.5 year old (10th in Europe).
What's 'funny' is that our life expectancy with good health match USA life expectancy this year.
- soco 3y agoMaybe because on average in USA you die from your first illness. Yes, I'm sarcastic.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoAmerican culture places a lot of importance on individualism. This means people are free to make choices that will lower their life expectancy without fear of judgement. So Americans don't live as long. Doesn't really prove anything about the quality of health care.
