The United States has the 42nd highest life expectancy in the world - Jordanians outlive Americans by six months

Immigrants coming over here, taking our cemetery plots...

I'm not sure if I even should answer that, but...

EU is not a single country, some European countries have immigration rates that are equal to the US, I think. And it's not the "starving uneducated malnourished" 3rd world people who immigrate to 1st world countries, in order to to fo that you usually have to have some cash and at least be in average condition in order to make the trip. And it's not like they import the malnourishment with them. Your country of destination should have much bigger influence on your life expectancy than the country where you came from. The biggest thing lowering life expectancy at birth in, for example, many African countries, is child mortality, so it's not like you drag your life expectancy with you when you immkigrate.

Damn straight. Filthy immigrants. grrrrr!!! though I'm sure Australia doesn't take on tens of millions every year.

Of course, it's also because America is evil. Europe is the crowning enlightenment of the world (according to themselves and Americans who like to kiss Euro ass at any chance they get).

Anyway, I'm just trolling. I work for a huge Japanese corporation in the US, and since the US is basically a free-for-all, they've decided to not pay a dime for any health care for me. Good times.

Worst troll ever.

Rank amateurism

Trolling is like being a goth. Admitting it is resigning yourself to being no good at it, denying it continually (like Eldritch, or Alex in NYC) is a sure-fire sign you're quality.

Nah, my best trolling years are behind me but it comes out by accident, even on the subway.

Using the same site, Canada's net migration rate is 5.79/1000 compared to 3.05/1000 for the US. Australia's is 3.78/1000.

(I'm assuming net migration refers to immigration not to people leaving?)

YOU CAN PROVE ANYTHING WITH FACTS.

Proof if proof be need be...

it's the dirty, thieving French

look at him. thinking he's so much better than you. what, you not gonna stand up for yourslef? let some frenchman push you around liek that? pussy

some of those places are artificially high on the list cuz people go there to retire

or maybe that doesn't make sense - fallacious argument. I guess having more old people wouldn't necessary bump up the average life expectancy. But you might say that healthier seniors would tend to move somewhere like the cayman islands.

The U.S. would be in 84th place, but my grandmother messed up the curve.

My parents moved from Belgium to Japan. They are planning to stay there until they die at the age of 142 years old.

I love the way with lists like this the game is to find the most comedic country with a higher life expectancy than the USA. And there aren't really that many... if Niger had a higher life expectancy than the USA then yes, it would be time to worry, but the USA only really has other first world countries ahead of it (and Jordan), so big mickey.

Israel ranking better than the US is quite frightening.

socialised health care strikes again?

Yes, believe it or not, Jordan is fairly civilised (xpost)

We beat Denmark.

... it's all that lager, bacon and butter

BTW no African country is even in the top ten contributors to the US foreign-born population.

A charticle/graph showing the rate of obesity and heart disease for each country would be revealing.

Hey uhrrrrrrr10 you americans ought to conquer Andorra and take over their health riches

ps. It's not the starving immigrants, Americans are unhealthy because they can't stop stuffing their mouths

who cares how long you live? would you rather live to be 120 in north korea or live to be 40 in new york city? fucking quality over quantity motherfuckers!!!

myself i'm looking forward to my booze and coke induced heart attack at 35 next year.

AMERICANS SUCK AT LIFE.

Americans also work more hours than people in most of those countries (which does not necessarily contradict what Brainwasher said).

I think Australians are as obese as Americans these days?

you should see kids in the uk these days, bunch of fatties

good news, everyone!

Lifespan 2040: US down, China up, Spain on top

Life expectancy in 2040 is set to rise at least a little in all nations but the rankings will change dramatically, with Spain taking the top spot while China and the United States trade places, researchers said Wednesday....

In a shift that will be seen by some to reflect a superpower changing-of-the-guard, the world's two largest economies effectively swap positions compared to 2016: in 2040 the US drops from 43rd to 64th (79.8 years), while China rises from 68th to 39th (81.9 years).
