To me, it is actually gibs what makes them entitled not to feel the urge to adapt to society.
Regarding life expectancy, I don't know all the causes but the homicide rates might be one of the causes so, with respect to that, welfare state wouldn't be a solution. The healthcare system might be another cause, but don't think that US healthcare is super free market, because there are laws to impose the socialization via insurance even for cheap treatments and that makes everything more expensive. Only catastrophic and unaffordable treatments should be included in the private insurance system, that way everything would be cheaper.
In Spain, public sector employees can choose whether they want to use the statal healthcare or private healthcare, and 80% of them choose the later because it is much faster. A quintessential trait of socialism are neverending queues wherever it is applied. To be honest, private clinics don't have enough equipment for many treatments, but the comparison is unjust because the statal healthcare has the cheatcode of state budget from taxes, and if the money of those taxes were employed by citizens to fund private healthcare companies, they would probably get much more equipment and provide more services.
