People also live longer because the quality of health care has improved.Doctors now know more about diseases and cures.Years ago,people died young because of simple things such as an infection or a virus.Now we have antibiotics and other medicines to help cure infection.

True, in many countries people live longer due to better health care. Meanwhile they created a new problem, the systems cant' pay their pensions anymore. A good health care is great, but when you live longer you need the money for those extra years too. Hope the systems find a solution for this, as I'm rapidly approaching my pensioner age!
