Our Healthgevity: Why we don't only live shorter, but we live worse

Alan and Andy discuss the HALE scale, a subset of longevity that measures the average length of years people live without being disabled. The longevity in our country averages 79 years, about 4 years lower than most industrialized nations. But we do far worse in the HALE score, where our healthgevity (the average length of life we live not disabled) is 63 years, meaning that on average we spend the last 16 years of our lives suffering poor health or frank disability. Compare this to other industrialized nations, where the average HALE age is 74 years, a full 8 years longer than us, with less end of life disability. Why?
We spend far less on primary care and lifestyle care than virtually any other country. We are a specialized, high tech system that becomes interested in you only when you get sick. Thus, little attention is spent on prevention. How can we fix this? We lay it out in our book, and we talk about it on this podcast. The solution is easier than you may know, but it will take some pushback from those most harmed to create change.
