The CDC's 2024 US life table gives a 69-year-old man 15.6 more years on average, against 17.7 for a woman the same age. At 64 a man had 19.1 years left, so the five years from 64 to 69 cost him only 3.5 of them. Medicare starts at 65, and full Social Security retirement age is 67 for anyone born in 1960 or later.
