People are living with sickness or disability younger than a decade ago. That should shock the country and prompt actionThe two-year decline in healthy life expectancy in Britain, set out in new analysis from the Health Foundation thinktank, is devastating. In a wealthy country like the UK, at a time of rapid advances in the treatment of illnesses including obesity and cancer, people should not be living with sickness or disability earlier than they were a decade ago.The report draws on a survey that relies on self-reporting, so is less objective than statistics based on births and deaths. Worsening mental health among younger adults is the area of sharpest deterioration and in some age groups, physical health was reported as having improved.

US Mortgage Debt Hits $13.2 Trillion, Average Household Owes Nearly $109,000
Authored by Mary Prenon via The Epoch Times,
America's mortgage debt continues to escalate, hitting the $13.2 trillion mark, according to an April 30 WalletHub report.
The personal finance website and app indicated that the average U.S. household owes nearly $109,000 in outstanding mortgage balances and that mortgage debt has remained on an upward trend over the past few years.
“Mortgage rates are the highest they've been in around a decade, and home prices have seen a meteoric rise in recent years as well,” WalletHub analyst John Kiernan said in the report.
