States that adopt liberal policies towards the non-rich have a lower death rate for adults age 25 to 64. States with right-wing policies have a higher death rate.

Projecting from the data, *Changing all policy domains in all states to a fully liberal orientation might have saved 171,030 lives in 2019," the researchers estimate, "while changing them to a fully [right-wing] orientation might have cost 217,635 lives."*

I replaced the word "conservative" because today's right-wingers are radical, not conservative.
