Document Summary
us has lower redistribution, so not all capita has the same income (compares income per capita and life expectancy) us spends most on healthcare but gets less bang for its buck. no real concrete correlation between income and life expectancy (2 graphs, one where little income increase relates to a lot of life expectancy changes and another one where more income = less life increase) we cannot address nature without addressing nurture. how your later health is influenced by your earlier health (early childhood development impacts your health later on in life) like exposure to toxic chemicals, illnesses, malnutrition, etc. more access to pipe water = lower infant mortality rate (less toxic heavy metals or toxic chemicals) i raq has 80% pipe water but high infant mortality contaminated pipes due to bombing and lack of upkeep.
