Now the red states can gut Planned Parenthood and bring down the life expectancy of red staters, even more! Winning!

"Residents of Democratic-leaning ("blue") states have a higher average life expectancy than those in Republican-leaning ("red") states, with the gap typically exceeding two years."

"For example, Hawaii (a blue state) has the highest life expectancy in the U.S. at 80.7 years, while Mississippi (a red state) has the lowest at 71.9 years."

"Red states tend to have higher rates of poverty, less access to healthcare, higher rates of drug abuse deaths, more gun violence, and more complications from treatable diseases like diabetes."

"Vaccination rates also play a role; studies suggest that if red states had vaccination rates comparable to blue states, tens of thousands of deaths could have been avoided."

"The political divide in life expectancy across the U.S. is stark and persistent. Blue states, offer residents a longer life expectancy than red states, a difference driven largely by policy choices, public health investments, and socioeconomic factors."
