Life expectancy in the United States declined again in 2017, the government said Thursday in a bleak series of reports that showed a nation still in the grip of escalating drug and suicide crises.
The data continued the longest sustained decline in expected life span at birth in a century, an appalling performance not seen in the United States since 1915 through 1918. That four-year period included World War I and a flu pandemic that killed 675,000 people in the United States and perhaps 50 million worldwide.
Public health and demographic experts reacted with alarm to the release of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s annual statistics, which are considered a reliable barometer of a society’s health. In most developed nations, life expectancy has marched steadily upward for decades.

Let me guess, Trumps fault.
Why the panic? Between abortion and voluntary human extinction, liberals should be celebrating!
Fewer humans around. Less impact on climate change, no?
0bama owns this too.
I thought they wanted this. I really don’t understand liberals.
It was true 3000 years ago, it is true today and it will always be true until the end.
Does that number include abortions? No, of course not.
My Dad exceeded the LE of 73 years for males. Only liberals find longevity dismal.
Maybe we’ll have a Logan’s Run future.
“a nation still in the grip of escalating drug and suicide crises.”
Druggies and emotionally unstable ... that’s all I’m going to say.
If liberals are offing themselves, tell me why I should care.
funny how that coincides wit the implementation of Obamacare..../s
We can only expect teen suicides to continue to rise as this transsexual madness continues to expand.
All of these teens that are mutilated will eventually come to reality that their lives have been destroyed by the PC Police, their parents and a political system that only sees them a political minority to be manipulated.
Finding out that can never be returned to normal their lives will seem a living hell.
Doctors kill hundreds of thousands with bad subscriptions but blame guns. Abortion seriously lowers population. Drug companies jack up the prices of drugs making cures out or the price range of many. Agenda 21/2030 is well under way.
The answer?
More socialism!
More social justice!
More government!
More debt!
Not my problem if society can face reality.

One fundamental cause: Medicare which established government permanently within a free market medical system which was then the best in history.
Medicare led to Capitation of doctor’s rates which led to best docs quitting then to increased price and behavior control.
Once government is given ANY role in any sector, eventually it takes over 100% which is where we are thanks to passage of Obamacare. There is no going back except establishing in future government will never give money to hospitals, clinics, individuals, researchers, colleges...nobody.
That number is more of a max than an average.
Given that many people live to be 90 to 100 it may seem to be wrong. But, over and over I am hearing and reading from people who are very very old and loathe life. It shows that the bible number still holds. So some people hang on to life into their 80's and 90's but all fun is gone.
Eccl 12 puts it well.
