It should be pointed out that the US spends the most because drug companies charge the most there. Also, I recently read that longevity has increased there at a much lower rate than other developed countries. Opioid abuse has become a major killer there.

I am not sure if this is a joke or not. But if you are being serious, then it is quite a bizarre - that there is a conspiracy of the global elite to get us to live longer. If there is, then great - help me to live a long and healthy life.
