This surprises everyone, but the quality and level of healthcare actually doesn't have a huge impact on average lifespan!
From memory, it's just around 1-2 years.
In contrast, modern sanitation (underground sewers, mostly) and access to clean water added 15-20 years!
Lifespan is far more affected by how healthy a life you live. In the US the opioid epidemic has lowered it ~1 year.
