If you have another source, please post it.

This is from the UN. Maybe Worldometer.info has better sources though, I don't know.

Even if we're going off yours, the richest nation can't compete with Costa Rica or Chile? Also still like half a decade behind the rest of the advanced world. Truly embarrassing stuff.

Still, a lot of it is state based too. Like Mississippi has a life expectancy similar to countries like Bangladesh and Syria. Some day with lots of prayers they might be able to compete with North Korea.
