Pretty significant differences in lifestyles illnesses. And if we can blame it all on the U.S. health care system, is the Russian health care system responsible for a life expectancy 6 years lower than the U.S.?

Russia spends almost nothing on its health care compared to the west, so I would say yes, the almost bankrupt and non functioning health care system that most Russians cant access probably does have quite a bit to do with their age of mortality
