Your second point first. The source is the CIA. It says: Life expectancy at birth compares the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. CIA Life expectancy has fallen in the US the last two years in a row so we're not catching up with the rest of the world. On the (less than) brighter side, it appears other countries are living longer because they have better health care for everyone or nearly everyone. Rationing health care doesn't seem to be working.
