Some Americans may climate change, a presidential election outcome, a vaccine's efficacy, war crimes, a domestic insurrection, a mass shooting of children, the nation's racial history, etc. However, one thing that Americans can't deny is the low U.S. life expectancy at birth compared to other advanced countries.
Among countries, U.S. life expectancy does not even appear on the list of the top 20 countries. Countries such as Iceland, Israel, Japan, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland had life expectancies in 2020 that were no less than greater than America's figure - i.e., 83 to 85 years of age versus 77 years. Other countries with significantly higher life expectancies than America include Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
