There must be a reason that our life expectancy here in the United States is slipping, while people in other countries in the developed world are living longer, healthier lives.
Is it that, on average, 12 children and shot and killed, and another 26 are injured, each day in the United States? No, but that is a contributing factor.
It’s largely that healthcare is made available to Americans only of the basis of profitability for the insurance companies.
From Cornell University:
In an oft-cited study, as many as 66.5% of people who file for bankruptcy blame medical bills as the primary cause. As many as 550,000 people file for bankruptcy each year for this reason. This data has been known for many years and has continued even with the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
If you’re looking for an indication as to how far the United States has fallen, what our president said at left here is a good measure.
To call it “childish” is an insult to little kids everywhere.
Oh, he’s simply a liar, to be sure. But let’s give him credit: that’s his one and only job, i.e., to sew complete BS into the minds of those least able to process it and see it for what it is.
He’s the male version of Karoline Leavitt: quite talented at lying at every turn to support the criminal-in-chief.
A 2024 state audit revealed that California spent $24 billion on homelessness programs between 2018 and 2023 but did not consistently track whether this spending reduced homelessness. The money is not physically “missing”; rather, the state failed to collect sufficient data to evaluate the effectiveness of the funds.
If you are implying that Gavin Newsom misappropriated these funds, you are a revolting human being.
If you infer from this that Newsom is a criminal, you’re a moron, and you’re a huge part of what makes this country so totally dysfunctional.
