U.S. Life Expectancy Lagging Behind 27 Other High Income Countries

(KCEN) -- Americans are lagging behind other nations when it comes to life expectancy.

Americans are apparently getting sicker and dying young than their international peers.

A new report from the National Research Council finds U.S. life expectancy is lagging behind 27 other high income countries.

That's despite the fact that Americans spend more per person on healthcare than any other country.
