Why is the Death in the US Rising?
Will our children be the first generation in American history to not live longer than their parents generation?
Preliminary data released by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), suggests that the death rate rose in 2015.

That may now all be offset by obesity and diabetes. Even the best technology and treatment cannot overcome the effects of poor lifestyle choices.
