Life expectancy tells you basically nothing about the quality of health care in the US. It's dominated by car accidents, homicide, and then CVD --- but CVD varies dramatically across the United States (from states in the south with drastically worse CVD outcomes to states in the north with outcomes on par with the Nordics) despite the same health care structure across all those states.

There are plenty of other countries with car accidents, homicide and cardiovascular disease. They also do worse than the US in life expectancy.

Do you need a cite to back up the analysis I just gave you? Because it will be easy to provide.
