@yogthos I would be curious to see these charts expanded to look at diet or types of food available in comparison. I may be wrong but I think the UK has stricter regulations on food additives and the like. Wonder how much the extra crap in the US food supply, especially in the cheaper and over-processed foods, contributes to the mortality differential. I’m guessing it’s probably more than we even think.

@Jelendral that was my thought as well, I imagine lack of healthcare access or social services play a role as well

@yogthos absolutely. Even if you have insurance the out of pocket/copay costs still drive people away from utilizing the services available.
