Their findings paint a sobering picture: while some states saw dramatic gains in life expectancy, others, particularly in the South, experienced little or no improvement over an entire century.
I’ll say it again: Fuck the south
Ha, great rant there.
I wonder which states they are … clicks on article.
states like Mississippi, Alabama, and Kentucky saw minimal gains, particularly among women
Yeah, no surprises.
WV, OK, KY, AR
Shit, Oklahoma got worse over 100 years.
Now check the life expectancy for the upper 1% and tell me how they faired… you know compared to people who can’t afford appropriate health care.
Even the richest in the US fare worse than the middle class in other industrialized countries, and at much higher cost.
Now that’s very interesting. Thank you for that.
Makes it seem like it might be related to rampant Capitalism.
I believe they actually did see improvements, they just weren’t sustained
