In this All In with Chris Hayes segment, he discusses the alarming trend of declining life expectancy in the United States. The country has seen a decrease in life expectancy and is currently at a 20-year low, which is a significant departure from the historical trend of gradual increases.
Hayes attributes the decline to a combination of factors, including the opioid epidemic, increasing suicide rates, and the Covid-19 pandemic. These factors are exacerbating existing health disparities, with lower-income and communities of color being hardest hit.
