For a biased answer, look at per-capita health care costs versus life expectancy for different countries. One problem is that cost is driven up and down by a variety of other factors as well.
And then, any country's life expectancy is based on a mixture of causes, e.g., I've read that it's declining in the US due to things like the opioid epidemic, suicide, and so forth.
