Yep, v. depressing. I haven't checked lately but a few years ago the combination of biology, location, family history, etc. gave me a life expectancy of 63-65 years.
I find it really distressing that we (the US) has one of, if not the, most expensive health care systems in the world... and our life expectancy is falling off the charts. Word. It's seriously disconcerting and sad.
