Obamacare taxes kill millennials

The story of modern life has been one of people enjoying better health and living longer. In the United States, life expectancy at birth has inched up almost every year over the past half century, going from under 70 years in 1963 to nearly 79 years in 2014. But the progress that once seemed automatic has stopped. Last year, for the second consecutive year, life expectancy declined. 
 This is not because of a surge in heart attacks among retirees. In fact, life expectancy at age 65 rose a bit in 2016. The overall decline stems from an increase in the death rate among younger people. In the 15-24 age group, mortality rose by almost 8 percent; among those 25-34, it jumped by more than 10 percent. Only among seniors did the death rate decline.
