lol statistically life is longer in 23 other states

So that puts them in the middle? For such a massive state, regression to the median sounds likely.
New York, California, and Florida have higher life expectancies. That's a quarter of the US population better off, after only taking into account 3 states.
Are we talking about life expectancy at birth, or life expectancy of the current population?

If the later I'd expect Florida to get a big boost because so many people retire there.
