I wonder how you could substantiate this allegation.
The following graph comes from the "Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Enviroment and Energy". They use longlivety as one logical interlinkage indicator between social (eg. healthcare) and economic (eg. growth rate) indicators.
The full essay ("Sustainability indicators - A compass on the Road Towards Sustainability") is available at:

Now you might wonder why a well known scientific institute can be so ignorant and dumb to think healthcare could have something to do with longlivety...
