..how did the line come about? How did they determine what the life expectancy would have been with less expenditure per capita?

At least one of those lines goes back on itself at some point, so my assumption is that it's tracking where each country has been over time.

Ooh good catch. That makes sense. Not sure I would call this beautiful, especially without any way to tell how much time has passed, but fair enough
