Yes, I addressed that. Look at our obesity rates. That has almost nothing to do with healthcare access and almost everything to do with our average lifespan.

Isnt obesity usually linked to economic inequality which links to not being able to properly afford health care?
Basically: a) "poor people tend to be more obese" b) "healthcare costs are a problem for people who struggle financially"
The US population does not receive the highest quality healthcare in the world.
If you are rich and sick, there's a decent chance that the world's leading specialist on your illness will be in the US. If you are poor and sick, you will receive higher quality healthcare in many other developed countries.
These are not the same thing; you are conflating them, I assume to support an ideological point. Just look at any ranking of healthcare outcomes for developed nations.
