Tfw china's life expectancy is higher than the US. US must be doing something really wrong to have the highest government spending on healthcare per capita in the entire world yet has quite literally the lowest life expectancy out of any first world nation and even lower then multiple second world nations

The US also has higher obesity rates, higher addiction rates, and a public that really hates living healthy.

China, in contrast, has crushed the drug trade and is less obese due to cultural reasons (at least for now, because obesity rates are skyrocketing there).
