"'There's something terribly wrong': Why more Americans are dying in middle age
December 2, 2019

Americans for decades had seen improvements in average life expectancy, but the trend reversed in 2014—with more U.S. residents dying at middle age from drug overdoses, diseases, obesity, suicide, and dozens of other causes, according to a study published Tuesday in JAMA...."

Interesting. Obesity could definitely be a factor as well as the opiod epidemic already mentioned. You could probably link this to the decline in manufacturing jobs resulting people developing unhealthy coping mechanisms. Also specific to obesity, perhaps more people eating out at unhealthy restaurants? IDK.

Obesity causes diabetes, stroke and other health issues. No doubt it is a major factor in this trend. We are a nation of lard asses.

The shut down wiped out a lot of potential deaths by traffic accidents I would imagine. That being said I have to wonder how many more people have died as the result of suicide, domestic violence, alcohol poisoning/drug overdose as a result of the shelters-in-place and depression.

There were a couple of studies of excess deaths. After eliminating corona deaths, they both came up with 25,000-30,000 for March through May.

Also interestingly, despite 150,000+ 'excess' deaths due to covid, the rate of increase for 2020 is identical to 2019 and below 2014-2018.

ACA passed in 2009..... was in full effect (including the market's reaction to it) by 2013

Sooooo.. in addition to being extremely UN-affordable, the ACA/Obissmalcare idiocy actually Kills more people than the system it replaced. Thanks, Obama/Biden. Shows how stupid Democrat Party policies are when they try to 'fix" things. Vote Republican in 2020 all the way. Hold your nose if you think you have to, but voting Trump/Republican will help our nation, voting Biden/Dems will destroy it and kill more people. Think about it.
