Car accidents and homicides are the only differences. I mentioned another one (Americans are fatter than people than the average developed country, even if we aren't quite the fattest), but they do show how you can't simply through life expectancy figures in to the ring and think you have the answer to how health care should be paid for. As for the "American life style being hazardous do health" 1 - Your changing the subject. The issue is health care, not some general American lifestyle issue. 2 - The subject your changing it to is rather vague. 3 - Its suggests that in the US, at the margin we have more accidents and homicides. It doesn't suggest that our lifestyle in the US is so horribly dangerous, only that in some ways some other countries might be slightly safer. 4 - Even if you think that we should try to change our lifestyles, that's mostly an individual choice, unless your a totalitarian who wants to force different lifestyles on people.
