Texas & 21 other states are in the lower medium with a life expectancy of 77-78.5 years, with 8 states in the 75-76.5 years.  Two states, Minnesota and Hawaii with a life expectancy of 81.1+ years.  Most of the lowest are in the southern states and up to Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia.  These are 2010 calculations.  These are probably statistics most of us knew, but still need to be worked on to improve in almost 1/2 of the states.
