Are "worse outcomes" controlled for lifestyle choices, demographics, and obesity? Or is it a stepping stone to a soapbox?

Life expectancy, infant mortality, and quality of care.

Americans being "fat", sedentary, and certain demographics having expensive chronic illnesses aren't the cause (except perhaps heart attack mortality, which I'm not going to spend the time this evening digging into), if that's your implication.

I saw the chart, but I don't see how it shows the causes. Why don't unhealthy lifestyles and obesity cost us more?
