But it didn’t have to be that way, a team of researchers suggests in a new, peer-reviewed study Tuesday. And, in fact, states like California, which have implemented a broad slate of liberal policies, have kept pace with their Western European counterparts. The study, co-authored by researchers at six North American universities and published in the Milbank Quarterly Journal, found that if all 50 states had all followed the lead of California and other liberal-leaning states on policies ranging from labor, immigration and civil rights to tobacco, gun control and the environment, it could have added between two and three years to the average American life expectancy. Liberal policies on tobacco (indoor smoking bans, cigarette taxes), the environment (solar tax credit, emissions standards, limits on greenhouse gases, endangered species laws), labor (high minimum wage, paid leave, no “right to work”), gun control (assault weapons ban, background check and registration requirements), civil rights (ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, equal pay laws, bans on discrimination and the death penalty) and access to health care (expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, legal abortion) all resulted in better health outcomes, according to the study. Simply shifting from the most conservative labor laws to the most liberal ones, Montez said, would by itself increase the life expectancy in a state by a whole year. If every state implemented the most liberal policies in all 16 areas, researchers said, the average American woman would live 2.8 years longer, while the average American man would add 2.1 years to his life. Whereas, if every state were to move to the most conservative end of the spectrum, it would decrease Americans’ average life expectancies by two years. On the country’s current policy trajectory, researchers estimate the U.S. will add about 0.4 years to its average life expectancy. For example, researchers found positive correlation between California’s car emission standards and its high minimum wage, to name a couple, with its longer lifespan, which at an average of 81.3 years, is among the highest in the country. From 1970 to 2014, California transformed into the most liberal state in the country by the 135 policy markers studied by the researchers. It’s followed closely by Connecticut, which moved the furthest leftward from where it was 50 years ago, and a cluster of other states in the northeastern U.S., then Oregon and Washington. In the same time, Oklahoma moved furthest to the right, but Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and a host of other southern states still ranked as more conservative, according to the researchers. It’s those states that moved in a conservative direction, researchers concluded, that held back the overall life expectancy in the U.S. “When we’re looking for explanations, we need to be looking back historically, to see what are the roots of these troubles that have just been percolating now for 40 years,” Montez said. Montez and her team saw the alarming numbers in 2015 and wanted to understand the root cause. What they found dated back to the 1980s, when state policies began to splinter down partisan lines. They examined 135 different policies, spanning over a dozen different fields, enacted by states between 1970 and 2014, and assigned states “liberalism” scores from zero — the most conservative — to one, the most liberal. When they compared it against state mortality data from the same timespan, the correlation was undeniable. “We can take away from the study that state policies and state politics have damaged U.S. life expectancy since the ’80s,” said Jennifer Karas Montez, a Syracuse University sociologist and the study’s lead author. “Some policies are going in a direction that extend life expectancy. Some are going in a direction that shorten it. But on the whole, that the net result is that it’s damaging U.S. life expectancy.” West Virginia ranked last in 2017, with an average life expectancy of about 74.6 years, which would put it 93rd in the world, right between Lithuania and Mauritius, and behind Honduras, Morocco, Tunisia and Vietnam. Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina rank only slightly better. Meanwhile, the life expectancy in states like California and Hawaii, which has the highest in the nation at 81.6 years, is on par with countries described by researchers as “world leaders:” Canada, Iceland and Sweden. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/...r-study-finds/ Want to live longer, even if you're poor? Then move to a big city in California. A low-income resident of San Francisco lives so much longer that it's equivalent to San Francisco curing cancer. All these statistics come from a massive new project on life expectancy and inequality that was just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. California, for instance, has been a national leader on smoking bans. Harvard's David Cutler, a co-author on the study "It's some combination of formal public policies and the effect that comes when you're around fewer people who have behaviors... high numbers of immigrants help explain the beneficial effects of immigrant-heavy areas with high levels of social support. As the maternal death rate has mounted around the U.S., a small cadre of reformers has mobilized. Some of the earliest and most important work has come in California Hospitals that adopted the toolkit saw a 21 percent decrease in near deaths from maternal bleeding in the first year. By 2013, according to Main, maternal deaths in California fell to around 7 per 100,000 births, similar to the numbers in Canada, France and the Netherlands — a dramatic counter to the trends in other parts of the U.S. California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative is informed by a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford and the University of California-San Francisco, who for many years ran the ob/gyn department at a San Francisco hospital. Launched a decade ago, CMQCC aims to reduce not only mortality, but also life-threatening complications and racial disparities in obstetric care It began by analyzing maternal deaths in the state over several years; in almost every case, it discovered, there was "at least some chance to alter the outcome." Meanwhile, life-saving practices that have become widely accepted in other affluent countries — and in a few states, notably California — have yet to take hold in many American hospitals. http://www.npr.org/2017/05/12/527806...moms-in-danger | ||

My county is a shithole for sure. And that definitely increases drug related deaths and collateral and suicides and homicides and crime in general. And like all the economic damage created by an oppressive theocratic state that forbids justice and independence.
But, like, it's honestly a lot bigger than Ron DeSantis. Sure he's a scummy Italian boy and totally a jerk but like he's not personally responsible and not going to fix it. Because basically the laws and regulations creating this mess are Federal in nature. Cali slapping expensive bandaids and life support on the problems is basically a short term stop gap to blunt the economic recession until they can implement Demolition Man v2. Needless none of that works when you're entire supply chain requires undocumented cheap labor and 3rd world economies and the few companies that pay even a barely livable wage are like Amazon and Blizzard. And hell bent on world domination. So they are OK with criminalizing self defense and individuals. Like you do not get to be a Dr, Lawyer, or Banker these days unless you shill for a subsidiary of a syndication of a franchise of a worthless Chinese administrated firm paying rent to Chinese landlords. | ||

Am I reading this right Kansas is the least federally dependent? Kansas is known for being a poor state that can barely pay the bills. They set up speed traps on their own people. They fly over you with an airplane to catch you speeding 10mph over the limit.
Then on the other hand we have California. Known for taking peoples gun rights left right and center. Home of the 3 strike law. Steal a pair of socks get life imprisonment. Literally stuffing people into dog cages. Some of you stupid fucks...all you know is what you've been brainwashed by the TV set to believe. Everything is left / right for you. You have no basic understanding of human rights or how they've been stripped away and taken from you. All you want to see is something you can cling on to and think it's an original thought that supports your fucked up world view. In this day and age you have to be able to think for yourself folks big brother does not have your best interests at heart. | ||
