There is a wide disparity between ethnic groups in the U.S. as well as gender. For example, an Asian woman is expected to live to 85.6, while for a Black man, the figure is 66.7 years.

Almost 20 fucking years! That’s beyond absurd, holy shit.

But have you considered that Americans have more money, the objectively most important measure of life?

This is an older article. In the meantime, China did overtake the US in life expectancy.

Also, IIRC, even if you compare it by wealth, the American 10% richest live less than other “developed” countries 10%. It’s like the whole country is cursed.

Lol, imagine losing in terms of quality of life to a nation that you've embargoed and done everything to make their lives miserable.

That's only because the namby pamby definition of "quality of life" doesn't include key metrics like the ability to own automatic weapons and drive needlessly massive trucks.
