Eventually, we all die, but that may appear sooner than others for a variety of reasons, and where you live in the country may play a role in that as well.

... What they found was that the average life expectancy for a U.S. resident was 76.4 years old. And that Americans in general pass away sometime in their 70s on average.

The state where residents tend to live the longest is Hawaii, with an average life expectancy of 79.9.

While you'd imagine the beautiful weather and surroundings play a part, a larger reason may be that Hawaii ranks as the top state for health care in the country, says MoneyGeek. Hawaii also has the lowest mortality rate in the entire U.S.

Not far behind is Massachusetts at 79.6, which has the highest insurance coverage rate in the country, with 97.4% of residents insured.

You can check out the average life expectancy in your state in the map below. ...

Retiring doesn't matter.

Access to good healthcare matters.

But according to Joni Ernst we are all gonna die anyway so even that doesn't matter.

I've seen healthy looking rich folks die before 50 and folks that smoke like chimneys die at 90.

So it's true that no matter how rich you are when your time is up your time is up.

@#5 ... Access to good healthcare matters. ...

I am currently in the process of a "medical procedure."

I'm in the ~entry~ stages at this point.

At this point it requires cooperation between various medical entities.

So far, that cooperation seems not to have occurred.

So now I wonder. what do I do, how do I proceed?

Which entity is stopping the progress?

Who do I call?

Is it the insurance company that is stopping progress>

Healthcare should not be this difficult.

Looks like it is good to be above the Mason Dixon line. I think I'll die of not surprise.

And on the entire continent of North America, the province of Quebec in Canada leads the pack in terms of life expectancy.

Gosh, I wonder if socialism and universal healthcare have anything at all to do with that?
