Life expectancy in the United States is on the increase, but only among people with more than 12 years of education, a new study finds.
In fact, those with more than 12 years of education -- more than a high school diploma -- can expect to live to 82; for those with 12 or fewer years of education, life expectancy is 75.

The obvious factor affecting this study would be that those that are intellegent enough to advance their education are both smart enough to have a healthy lifestyle, and wealthy enough to afford good medical care.
With universal healthcare, everyone could have the same chance to live a long & healthy life. Since the less educated are just as productive to society, perhaps more, seems like that would be a good idea.
