Infant mortality was also 1.5x higher in the US than it is today. (Depending on who we mean by "we", this difference can be much larger.) Cystic fibrosis was a death sentence. "Late 90's" barely includes the development of effective AIDS treatment, though certainly not the rollout. (Maybe part of what you were getting at above, besides gay marriage.) Etc etc.
