Interesting little fact that I read, but cannot find now. I have not verified it, but I rather suspect that it's true. If you are 24 years old in America, your life expectancy is 2+ years less than that of a similar person in Europe. If you are older than 65 your life expectancy is almost a year greater than that European person at age 65+.
You might think that the reason has to do with all of our modern medicine and technology, with our geriatric practices and life saving techniques.
Nope. If you're over 65 you're on Medicare. Think about it.
