[In Overdosed America, Dr. Abramson cites CDC data indicating that over the course of the past 100 years, life expectancy has increased by a remarkable 30 years. Yet according to the CDC report quoted by Abramson,] 25 years of this gain are attributable to advances in public health. ... These include improvements such as sanitation, clean food and water, decent housing, good nutrition, higher standards of living, and widespread vaccinations.

People are living longer than ever before. A hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was 47 years, and the median age was 17½. When they chose the age for retirement as 65, the average life expectancy was 62½. Now, the average life expectancy is almost 78, and shows no sign of topping off.

Women's life expectancy in China has significantly improved in the last several decades. In 1998, women's life expectancy was 73.1 years on average, 3.7 years longer than that of men. In 2003, women's life expectancy extended to 74 years.

In the absence of national safety standards, the CDC should not be sitting on data so clearly needed to protect the public from a chemical that appears to be widespread in drinking water and food. Once again, in the face of inaction by the Bush Administration, states such as Massachusetts and California are stepping forward to protect public health.

In parts of the United States, there are cast iron water pipes that date back to the late 1800s and have an average life expectancy of about 120 years. Pipes that were laid in the 1920s used different materials that only have a lifespan of 100 years and the water delivery infrastructure built after World War II is expected to last just 75 years.

We don't really know whether the rates of problems have increased or not because so few studies have comparable data on mental health across the past 30 years. Children's emotional and behavioral problems are more likely to be interpreted through a medical lens now than they were 20 years ago.

Over the last 40 years, computers have increased in power by a factor of about 100 million, but access to data has increased in speed by a factor of about 100 times less than that. Even in the last 10 years there has been a lack of improvements in access to data in comparison to the increase in computing power.

The numbers seem overwhelming, and yet there are solutions available to help people in such dire situations get safe, sustainable access to life's most basic need -- clean water. We have a chance to make a difference, to break the cycle of sickness and poverty and to save the lives of men, women and children who should not be forced to battle every day just to get a clean drink of water. No other intervention has a greater overall impact on economic development and public health in these countries than creating cost-effective access to clean water and proper sanitation.

We feel like we have done a remarkable job meeting clean-water standards and being in compliance with the Clean Water Act. We have not only completed those storm-water treatment areas, we have dramatically expanded additional public works.

The backdrop is a dramatic one in Zimbabwe, one of the most dramatic in the world. Life expectancy has plummeted from around 63 years in the late 1980s and early 1990s to 33.9 years in 2004. This is a meltdown. This is a nearly halving of life expectancy.

The census numbers tell us what we've known for years -- that soaring health care inflation is making health insurance unaffordable, so more folks go uninsured, and those who can afford it find their policies cover less and less. The data shows a continued deterioration in the use of employer-provided health insurance and increased reliance on Medicaid and public programs. If it had not been for more people moving into public programs, the number of uninsured would have increased another 2.3 million, the statistics show.

The water, sanitation and security seem far better than those over the past few years.

Drought need not be a death sentence for children living in affected communities. We can save thousands of lives if we can get the emergency health, nutrition, water and sanitation interventions to them before it is too late.

In the 1980s, life expectancy was increasing and the best data that we had suggested that for every increased year of life expectancy, a greater fraction was disabled life expectancy. That led to a pessimistic perception that what we would see was a piling up of chronic illness and related disability, that medical science could extend life but it couldn't prevent disability or cure it.

I made my mistakes, but in all my years of public life, I have never profited from public service. I've earned every cent. And in all of my years in public life I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I can say that in my years of pub
