The Red States, especially the southeast, maintain a high percentage of uninsured.

There is a direct relationship between health care and longevity. The shortest longevity at birth are seen in the African American populations of the Red States. The lowest longevity is primarily in the southeast USA.

...Much to the credit (click here) of the Affordable Care Act — popularly dubbed “Obamacare” — the uninsured rate for all Americans dropped earlier this year to a historic low of 8.6 percent, according to the National Health Interview Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the rates continue to vary dramatically across states....

The uninsured and shortest longevity in the USA is definitely racist in nature.

The time frame of the chart regarding longevity per state is a bit dated in 2009, but, given the continued uninsured population in Red States I doubt the averages have changed.

Measure of America calculations using mortality counts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics. Mortality – All County Micro-Data File, as compiled from data provided by the 57 vital statistics jurisdictions through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. Population counts are from the CDC WONDER Database.

In examining the chart at this website not the high number of NSF (Not Sufficient Data). The states that do not report by state rights and legislative state law; also have the shorter longevity rates. It is called corruption and the reason "to much government invasion into private lives." That is a strategy and not simply the privacy rights of Americans. The real standard for invasion into privacy is the US Patriot Act. These same states do not have a problem with invasion of privacy when it means white folks might be killed by terrorists.

In the time frame of 2014, (click here) the Red States rank highest in death rates of Americans per 100,000.

This phenomena of lack of health care insurance, shorter longevity rates and higher death rates per 100,000 of population is most noted in the southeast USA. It is a quality of life issue.

There is no quality of life in the southeast USA. The income demographics are startling as well. There are TWO classes of persons in the Red States, the wealthy and the poor. There is very little in between. That means the Republican paradigm of economics is grossly skewed to protect the wealthy while sacrificing the poor.
