I also just realized I mis-typed the Sudan example. I meant Syria.
And to be fair to the US, developing nations will tend to score higher on that metric, which is the increase in Health-Adjusted Life Expectancy from 2000-2019, because they have further to go up. But the US adding only 0.3 years when every other comparable industrialized nation added 2-4 years illustrates that while they have good economic growth, their quality of life isn't improving at nearly the same rate (or even the same rate as their peer nations) which will tend to create angst.
