I wonder if access to healthcare was a factor? I've lived with major medical issues my whole life so I don't expect to live to the average. Now in my mid 40s. I live in Essex county.

Cigarettes, the dollar menu, and lack of exercise matter a heck of a lot more than health care access. Very few affluent people smoke. Affluent people tend to eat healthier. Affluent people tend to be more physically fit. Money matters some but behavior is the critical thing. If you need health care access for chronic behavior-induced problems, it’s already too late.
