Life Expectancy in Chile

     According to this report, Chile now ranks slightly ahead (27th) of the USA (28th) in life expectancy. The average person in Chile lives around 79.5 years and is 78.2 years in the USA. One possible reason is the increasing police state in America and violence perpetrated by the U.S. government against its people directly or indirectly through food policies and wars. The last decade has been tough on liberty in the "land of the free" (a term which some, including Simon Black, have been attributing to Chile recently). The report blames higher infant mortality and behavioral components like diet as key factors. The top ten countries are as follows:
1. Japan: 86.4 years
2. Spain: 84.9 years
3. Switzerland: 84.6 years
4. France: 84.4 years
5. Australia: 83.9 years
6. Korea: 83.8 years
7. Israel: 83.5 years
8. Finland: 83.5 years
9. Sweden: 83.4 years
10. Iceland: 83.3 years
     The study was conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. Read more. The USA has the highest healthcare costs in the world and, despite fabulous care, has not produced the longest life expectancy statistics.
     At any rate, the data provide yet another plus for why Chile is a good choice. One reason for Chile's rise in this category has been its excellent and relatively inexpensive medical care system.

     Dr. Cobin’s book, Life in Chile: A Former American’s Guide for Newcomers, is the most comprehensive treatise on Chilean life ever written, designed to help newcomers get settled in Chile. He covers almost ever topic imaginable for immigrants. This knowledge is applied in his valet consulting service, where he guides expatriates through the process of finding a place to live and settle in Chile, helping them glide over the speed bumps that they would otherwise face in getting their visas, setting up businesses, buying real estate, investing in Chilean stocks or gold coins, etc. The cost is $49.

     Dr. Cobin’s sequel book, Expatriates to Chile: Topics for Living, adds even further depth on important topics to expatriates who either live in Chile already or who have Chile on the short list of countries where they hope to immigrate. The book deals with crucial issues pertaining to urban and rural real estate transactions, natural disasters, issues pertaining to emigration and its urgency, money and the quality of life, medical care and insurance, business opportunities, social manifestations (including welfare state and divorce policy concerns), Chile in the freedom indices, social maladies (lying, cheating, stealing and murder), as well as discussion of a few places worth visiting and some further comments about Santiago.
