A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Where does the US rank in terms of life expectancy? 48th (79.6 yrs). That compares to 19th for Canada (82.9 yrs). How will Trump's agenda affect the US? Negative shifts in socioeconomic status, access to medical care, education, public health, vaccinations, and nutrition can lower life expectancy.
