An interesting study of gaps between “healthspan” (yrs of healthy life) & “lifespan” across the globe.
Takeaway: the US has amongst the largest gaps, despite relatively low lifespan.
And women in the US have even bigger gaps. 🛟🩺🧪😷

For far too long, the medical profession has been accessible primarily to the wealthy.
Despite nearly 38 million people in the U.S. living in poverty, only about 5% of doctors come from the lowest income bracket.
This disparity calls for urgent action.
