hmmm.. yes, medical care compensates for a lot a very long time.  The average life span is about 84 y . So a reduction of 10-15 y is a very big deal, medically spoken. But it still doesn't mean they die in their 30s or 40s. they just spend most of their life sick. On pills. On wellfare. Not productive. In pain. Not able to care for themselves. Dependent on a high functioning and costly social structure to support them. And then die at 65-75 y Average life span is sinking again in the US btw,
