The USA is also significantly bigger than every single one of those “comparable” countries. Actually bigger (population, size, really just about any size metric possible) than all of them combined. It’s a bit disingenuous to clump all of the USA together. Which fuels and proves my point about outsiders not understanding the USA.

The range in “comparable” countries is also about 4 years… Why do you think that is? I mean the countries are basically right next to each other like states are here… yet for some reason despite sharing a border Switzerland and Germany have a 4.1 year difference in male life expectancy.

I’m willing to bet money that different parts of the US, possibly even on a state by state or even region by region location would have wildly varying life expectancy than is being insinuated with a single monolithic number for “the USA”… Just like the EU countries listed here…

Turns out that is wildly true… The top 30 states all compete with the numbers given and fall within the ranges between Germany and Switzerland given in the charts in your link.

Edit:

If you drill down to counties… which is at the very bottom of the wiki article. You can see even more disparity. And the only reason I bring this up is that some counties in the USA are bigger than entire as countries in the EU. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/largest-counties-in-the-united-states-by-total-area.html

There is issues with getting infrastructure EVERYWHERE when the country is just so damn big and sparse.

Edit2: I should clarify that I don’t doubt that the EU overall is better off… Mostly because being fat is a huge problem in the USA that is much less prevalent than the EU overall. But just clumping shit willy nilly is exactly what I was referencing… Mississippi vs California is a world of difference.
