Here's what I don't get about the figures. If the life expectancy (see Note) of people in a country exceeds 65 in more than 100 of 195 countries, how can so few exceed 65 as the figure show.
The list of life expectancy is here for your viewing. The USA ranks as the 45th highest. That does not speak well at all for "medicine for profit". Please note that most of the countries ahead of the USA on the expectancy list have universal health care.

Note:
LIFE EXPECTANCY
Definition Life expectancy at a given age represents the average number of years of life remaining if a group of persons at that age were to experience the mortality rates for a particular year over the course of their remaining life.

Dave states that 8% of all people survive to age 65
Dave also states the 7% of the people have college.
While these people are of the same population (100 people), it is not stated that the 7% and the 8% are the same subset.
I had stats many, many years ago, so my explanation may not be as clear as I would like.
In my meager memories of stats, the two groups do not correlate to each other, at least that is what I believe that I read, and as always I could be wrong.

My view of this is that it has to be the same population, since there isn't enough without the full population of either for the intersection of the two groups to still be at 7%. If each group had 10%, then the intersection could be 7% with extra in each.
That's how I'm interpreting it

Example.
At birth the average life expectancy of US women born in 1944 was roughly 68 years. Those women who survive to age 75 (2019) with no chronic health conditions have a life expectancy of another 17 years (age 92). Men have lower life expediencies as my wife constantly reminds me.

I noted that model gave me 2 more years expectancy if I have 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks a day vs zero (0) drinks! Off to the ABC store in the morning! 
Burns dinner is next week and that calls for some single malt Whisky.

Passed all 3 tests easily. Now, I'm only 55, so that should be a straightforward test.
Once I hit 65, I'll be in the 8%, as i hit all the qualifiers, except age. I feel lucky. I have had several aunts/uncles hit their 80s and i have one aunt in her early 90s.

Ken- good to see you chime in. Been a while. Hope all is well with you and Nancy.
My view of this is that it has to be the same population, since there isn't enough without the full population of either for the intersection of the two groups to still be at 7%. If each group had 10%, then the intersection could be 7% with extra in each.

) Staistics is a bit tricky as without very specific data, it can give varying conclusions..........and that is what I truly remember from way too many years ago.
