My guess is the high cost of health care and a government that can’t seem to figure out how to insure its people.

Nothing wrong with suicide.

west virginia doesnt offer lessons in anything except where not to live.

Because modern living has made life suck a lot.

Gluttony?

...people getting lost in the woods?

Look on the bright side. Shorter life spans in WV reduces the number of those who voted for realDonaldTrump.

Actually, the real reason is the increased number of 'elected' Democrats- Life expectancy is inversely proportional to of Dems in office- Prove me wrong!

Illegal immigration

Pre existing conditions make people sub human and undeserving of medical care according to the GOP, so that probably has something to do with it prolifemyass

Canadians have been increasing life expectancy while the US is decreasing life expectancy. Could it be the water or koolaide? Could it be the air they breath? Or could it be equal access to socialized medicine for all?

Opinion: nutrition is playing a large part in America. Lack of regulation on processed foods do more to harm the health then any other direct cause.

hmmmm, could it be healthcare isn't a priority? Gotta get those big bucks, make big profits, but shit on the ppl that need care. Ppl depressed and bankrupt when they get sick and will be debt their entire life paying off medical bill! Just some thoughts

Obamacare obviously

I have to imagine how depressed everyone is has something to do with it.

Obesity and gun crime ?

THE GOP.....

Is it that people are dying younger?

This is what your life expectancy looks like on capitalism

Is it cos they keep shooting each other also?

Strange that this story and the one it links to on life expectancy apparently do not actually state the new life expectancy stat in the top part of the story, although that is what it purports to be about.

Are they yodeling?

Oh god that jpeg makes me want to flee the country to one that doesn't support full-grown man on dwarf porn. WTF were you thinking?

You do realize this is fake news?!

Just throw some pharma CEOs with predatory practices in jail and build the damn wall and use tech at entry points with Mexico.
