Life span in the U.S. is Down Compared to Other Countries

Posted: Updated:

Life span in the U.S. still trails other developed countries even though we spend more money on healthcare.

A University of Colorado study says life expectancy in the U.S. is about 78 years, and five years less if you're poor.

That compares to life-spans of almost 90 years in Monaco, and 84 years in Japan.
