radical for-profit “investment” in healthcare research, production, and administration makes outcomes worse, not better
not to be a raging commie but this upsets me

I mean… the scale starts at 78 and ends at 85. It’s incredibly misrepresentative.
…it’s a life expectancy plot, are you really interested in all the dead space? I think the person making the graph expects a certain level of general literacy and contextual awareness to grasp the reason neither axis starts at 0
graphs with scales that don’t start at zero are not fundamentally misleading. There are no countries included with zero health spending or zero life expectancy.
What may be more misleading is the choice of which countries to include and reject. But a lack of a white space because humans live a long time regardless of circumstances isn’t a substantive criticism of this chart.
i think its pretty fair and standard to do that for ages, and more than that average ages that represent lifespan where tiny differences can have a lot of meaning
