Black and Native American life expectancy drag it down a fair bit. A median European dropped in US only loses a few years. In fact this goes for lots of stuff; drop someone from Norway in America and their chance of dying by gun doesn't change much either.

Medical outcomes are generally excellent in the US, so when they intersect with healthy, safe lifestyles the results are good. Poor and dangerous lifestyles do a lot of heavy lifting in the US when it comes to life expectancy.
