Source? If true, why does the UK have a longer life expectancy than the US?

That has nothing to do with that question at all. Lifestyle diseases do a lot more damage than access to treatment. Obesity for example can make your life expectancy take a dive, and it's not like the US and the UK are comparable at all in that sense.

Instead of providing a source for your original claim, you just made an additional unsourced claim.

Actually, the US and the UK are quite comparable when it comes to obesity.
