       It’s not 100%, but there is a strong correlation between higher life expectancy in “blue” states and lower life expectancy in “red” states. A lot is due to refusal to accept Medicare expansion (Obamacare), as well as hellish rates of opioid addiction in redder states. There’s also the COVID denialism in red states, although there’s no date on the map.(alt txt: map of the US showing life expectancy by county/state, with bluest = 86.8 years and reddest = 66.8 years) https://lepoulsdumonde.com/@bot_wg/110779954676895162
