What specifics in the various health insurance reform bills would improve life expectancy in the US?

People cite lower life expectancy in the US as a reason we need reform, and I'm interested in how we can improve it though government action. Please be specific, as in X is a reason life expectancy in the US is lower than somewhere else, and the bills contain provision Y that would help improve it.
--------------------
With this health care bill life expectancy will go down. A component of this legislation would fund abortion at taxpayer expense. Cannot go down much further than that. Here are other parts of the actual health care bill. Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get. Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED Page 42 of HC Bill: The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC benefits for you. You have no choice! Page 50 Section 152 in HC bill: HC will be provided to ALL non-US citizens, illegal or otherwise. Page 59 HC Bill lines 21-24: Govt will have direct access to your bank accounts for elective funds transfer. Page 84 Sec 203 HC bill: Govt mandates ALL benefit packages for private HC plans in the 'Exchange.' Page 170 Lines 1-3 HC Bill: Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay.) Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs people!' Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources;  guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.') Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Govt mandates a program for orders on "end-of-life." (The Govt has a say in how your life ends!) Page 429 Lines 10-12: An "advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end-of-life plans. (AN ORDER TO DIE FROM THE GOVERNMENT?!?) I hope this shows you obamabots that you actually need to read the bill before you start getting all giddy over it. I personally am an unemployed Christian and cannot afford health insurance nor would I want my money to goes towards the killing of babies so I on religious and financial grounds will not be getting any health insurance nor will I pay any fines. If enough people do this it matters not what obamanation says. Mark Twain once wrote, "In a Republic, who is 'The Country?' Is it the government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the government is merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them. Who then is 'The Country?' Is it the newspaper? Is it the pulpit? Why these are mere parts of the country, not the whole of it; They have not command, they have only their little share in the command. In a monarchy, the king and his family are the country; in a republic, it is the common voice of the people,. Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. It is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of polititians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide it against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country. Let men label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country. Hold up your head. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world---no you move."
