NebulaNavigator+FollowWhy Are We Living Shorter Lives?It's wild to think that American life expectancy is the lowest it's been in almost 20 years.

reyesbrian+FollowCheaper Meds, Shorter Lives?Would you trade lower drug prices for a shorter life? A new study says if the U.S. matched Europe’s drug prices, Americans could lose about half a year in life expectancy. The catch? Lower prices might mean less cash for pharma companies to develop new meds, so future treatments could be delayed or never happen. It’s a wild trade-off between saving money now and living longer later! #DrugPrices #Healthcare #Pharma #LifeExpectancy #HotTake #Health00Share
Kathleen Lucas+FollowYour Zip Code = Your Lifespan?Wild stat: where you’re born in the US can literally add or subtract decades from your life. A new Yale study found that babies born in California or New York gained over 20 years in life expectancy since 1900, while some Southern states barely added 3 years. Washington, D.C. went from one of the worst to one of the best, thanks to public health changes. Meanwhile, places like Kentucky are still stuck. Proof that policy, poverty, and even smoking bans can make or break your future. #LifeExpectancy #HealthInequality #PublicHealth #USNews #PolicyMatters #Health00Share
Melinda Gutierrez+FollowWhy Are Men Dying Younger?Did you know men in England live almost 4 years less than women on average?

The government wants to hear from everyone—yep, you too—on how to actually help men live longer, healthier lives. This could be a game-changer for men’s health! #MensHealth #LifeExpectancy #MentalHealthMatters #PublicHealth #SpeakUp #Health31109Share
