So how do you interpret it?

My interpretation is that this guy runs an insurance company who insures working age people through their employers. That is the source of the data, so he is missing data on elderly people

Yet he makes a claim that the people he does not have data on are dying at a lower rate than the people he does have data on. This makes no sense, as you can't make a comparison when you simply don't have data on the group you're comparing against

Can you share the quote from the article that you're referring to? Not saying it's not there, but I'm just not finding it.

I have it quoted in multiple comments here, including my top comment. Here it is again:

>Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.

Here is the specific part I take issue with:
