The invasion of 3rd World Aliens who carry diseases that were once nearly eliminated from the US is probably the most insidious long term effect from Obama's open boarders policy. The Baby Boomers are getting old, but they don't believe it and can be careless or even reckless in their lifestyle. Then there is Obamacare. Now we're all forced, by intrusive penalty, to carry state mandated, cumbersome, health insurance. Yet its "affordability" has made it useless for basic healthcare due to the outrageous deductibles that are now part of the plans.Centrally planned healthcare is as useless as National Public Radio. m/r
Life Expectancy In U.S. Drops For First Time In Decades, Report Finds
Heard on Morning Edition
One of the fundamental ways scientists measure the well-being of a
nation is tracking the rate at which its citizens die and how long they
can be expected to live.
So the news out of the federal government Thursday is disturbing: The overall U.S. death rate has increased for the first time in a decade, according to an analysis of the latest data. And that led to a drop in overall life expectancy for the first time since 1993, particularly among people younger than 65.
"This is a big deal," says Philip Morgan, a demographer at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill who was not involved in the new analysis.
"There's not a better indicator of well-being than life expectancy," he says. "The fact that it's leveling off in the U.S. is a striking finding."
Now, there's a chance that the latest data, from 2015, could be just a one-time blip. In fact, a preliminary analysis from the first two quarters of 2016 suggests that may be the case, says Robert Anderson, chief of the mortality statistics branch at the National Center for Health Statistics, which released the new report.
