So this whole thing is just smoke and mirrors, the BIG difference is at age
65 someone from the US has 16.1 years to live and at the high end someone
from Japan has 17 years? OMG, sound the alarms.

What they don't tell you is what percentage of the population manages to
reach 65 to be included in this study. I mean according to the information
in the report, a country where 1% of the people live to be 65 and have a
life expectancy of 17 more years and another country where 90% of the
people live to be 65 and have a life expectancy of 16 more years and they
would make the second country look bad?

This is a report that was created to prove a point, it was not research.
