| 1640471627103350784 | @zackkanter Many people grow up thinking everyone died by 50 until the late 19th century, but it was really just that like a third of people died before age 10. | 6 |
| 1640386511722905602 | @zackkanter An inconvenient truth: https://t.co/3VhtNRlI2p | 4 |
| 1640584291368292353 | @zackkanter Yeah, it's like something that happens when Americans get older affect their health a lot. Maybe somewhere around 65 years old. Can't figure it out. | 2 |
| 1640558730180804608 | @MikeLikesMath @MemphisFor @813JAFERD @zackkanter 'White Americans living in the richest 5% of US counties still die earlier than Europeans in similarly low-poverty areas' https://t.co/slx18bTI9I "In fact, Europeans in extremely impoverished areas seem to live longer than Black or white Americans in the richest 10% of counties" | 1 |
| 1640474088438378497 | @zackkanter my parents are 92 and 95. us trying to cut down the need for long term care? #MedicareForAll | 1 |
| 1640730234323345409 | @zackkanter @benshapiro It also has to do with the counting process. We count infants born with low prospects of survival as deaths...lowering the average. Much of Europe does not. | 1 |
| 1640526217324515332 | @brooklynrob @zackkanter @SIfill_ It has a name, “deaths of despair”. (This includes suicide but also overdose/substance-related deaths) Largely a phenomenon of white working class. https://t.co/ip52u0oVBw | 1 |
| 1640458434741927937 | @IDoBadTakes @zackkanter @jmhorp Bingo. We provided universal healthcare to seniors nearly sixty years ago, and with it come the benefits thereof (despite the GOP trying to divert people away from it with "Medicare Advantage", which is neither). The trouble is living long enough to get there. | 1 |
| 1640451277950689299 | @zackkanter @jmhorp We have universal healthcare for people over 65, plus our health system is one of the best if you can pay for it so that makes a lot of sense | 1 |
| 1640695791680466944 | @zackkanter @espiers That was correct. Pretty obvious when you look at their 10-K filing - I mean read it, not download it - and was proved correct when they wrote off 16.5BN of loans to VCs. https://t.co/cNR8vNMiME | 1 |

| 1640180536197955584 | @zackkanter Maybe it's the hopelessness and lack of future to look forward to. The lack of a vision for, and roadmap to, better days, at the level of the nation, organizations and companies, families, and individuals. The dying from the inside. @SIfill_ | 25 |
| 1640317429761941504 | @zackkanter Self selection bias. The ones over 75 yo are the ones who had enough education and money to make it there by spending more. This is a deeply unjust system. | 25 |

| 1640502017926877186 | @r2r @U_A_NYC @zackkanter 65 and 75 are two different numbers | 10 |
| 1640391589922062345 | @andrewstepner @zackkanter Good coverage by @DavidZipper here of some of the reasons. But the gap is really big - you're *multiple times* more likely to die in a road accident in the US vs some peer countries - e.g. 3x vs Japan. https://t.co/lO1Rxr1HYM. | 9 |
