Life expectancy is down in the US pre-covid, driven in part by the opioid epidemic and in part by poor health/obesity,both of which are associated with poverty. Involuntary servitude is alive and well in US prisons which incidentally don't have a ton of high income people.
So I don't think it's fair to say that life is necessarily getting better in the US for low income people.
