- Number of deaths: 2,398,343
- Death rate: 816.7 deaths per 100,000 population
- Life expectancy: 77.9 years
Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
- Heart disease: 654,092
- Cancer: 550,270
- Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,147
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 123,884
- Accidents (unintentional injuries): 108,694

- Influenza/Pneumonia: 61,472
- Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 42,762
- Septicemia: 33,464
The data shows that poor diet and physical inactivity may soon overtake tobacco as the leading cause of death. These findings, along with escalating health care costs and aging population, argue persuasively that the need to establish health insurance coverage has become more urgent.
