On a population level it does.
Higher children mortality than most developing countries and worst life expectancy in G7 can't only be contributed to bad lifestyle.
It's also a huge part of not being able to access care, and that's not the cutting edge care, it's cheap basic care
American lifestyles especially in certain states are generally not conducive to good outcomes but the US healthcare system itself is still generally world-renowned for cutting edge procedures.
Analyzing from a cost POV it's quite bad, but in many ways healthcare is the ultimate marginal good so people are willing to spend what they have.
