It said this:

A 30-year gap now exists in the average life expectancy between Mississippi, in the Deep South, and Connecticut, in prosperous New England.

What is YOUR interpretation?

The point of the study discussed by the article is to point out the huge disparities that exist in the US population which are hidden by the averages you just noted. They are not talking about gaps in these averages although a 6-7 difference in averages is significant but the gaps between different subgroups within the overall populations in those states. Hence, the difference between the best subgroup in CT and the worst in MISS is 30 years.

The averages present a rosier picture that mask the sad reality. That is something you and your boys are in total denial about......conveniently. It is why you all are very much a part of the problem and are doing everything to prevent the right solutions.
