Universal healthcare might help but it is also–

Auto accidents driven by car culture.

Higher drug and alcohol abuse rates.

Higher suicide rates driven by access to firearms.

A culture of unhealthy eating that leads to obesity, heart disease, and increased risk of cancer.

Point 3 is just wrong.

Japanese don’t have easy access to guns and yet Japan has one of the highest suicide rates.

Same with Uruguay, highest suicide rate in America without having easy access to guns.

Apples and oranges. Japan has an insane work culture that leads to burnout and depression, and therefore more suicides. Not sure why Uruguay has such a high suicide rate, but they also have a completely different culture than both America and Japan. The method in which you take your life is less important if you are intent on taking your own life. Guns make it super easy.
