Wait the life expectancy in the US is that low?!
It's actually lower in the poor-er regions.
I'm guessing the target goal is whatever they set retirement age to be.
(Yes, I realize they want to eliminate retirement entirely.)
Absolutely. They've been trying to increase the retirement age for years now.
That's average. So if you have a lot of money and are spending it to raise the average cost, you probably live as long or longer than the other countries. On the other hand, the poors have a live expectancy that much lower to average it out. So call it 70 for the poors and 82 for the rich.
The average is dragged down by wealth disparity and anti-science religions.
