This is much worse than similar developed countries.

Larry Summers warns that data showing increased mortality rates among the young is “the most disturbing set of data on America that I have encountered in a long time,” after life expectancy in the U.S. dropped to the same level seen in 1996.
“This transcends politics,” warned Summers on Twitter on Friday, linking to an analysis from Financial Times journalist John Burn-Murdoch exploring the U.S.’s worse record on mortality compared to other developed economies.
Summers highlighted two statistics from the FT’s analysis. First, one in 25 five-year-olds in the U.S. will die before their 40th birthday, far above the levels recorded in peer countries. Second, 75-year-old Americans have the same chance of surviving to a given age as other developed economies.

"Young" is redundant.
Sounds like normality to me. How many people under 40 die each year anyway? 1 in 26?

That's 4%. There are about 170 million people under 40. 4% would mean about 7 million will die young. That can't be right.
