INDEPENDENCE DAY
“Women in large swaths of the U.S. are dying younger than they were a generation ago, reversing nearly a century of progress in public health… In 737 U.S. counties… life expectancies for women declined between 1997 and 2007. For life expectancy to decline in a developed nation is rare. Setbacks on this scale have not been seen in the U.S. since the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918, according to demographers.”
