The wealthiest Americans have a life expectancy similar to that of the poorest Europeans in western European countries

Heat related deaths affect the oldest more than the young. The old Europeans dying during a heatwave do so because they are alive. The old Americans that would have died in a heatwave were already dead.

I hope the USA can fix its healthcare system.
