Who would have thought that the states with the lowest average lifespan are also the same ones with the worst health care, & highest rates of obesity.

What’s the bet that lifespans will decrease noticable due to this toxic political climate and shitty federal policies?

Poor white people have a fuck ton more in common with poor black people than they do with rich white people. West Virginia and Mississippi couldn’t be more different demographically, except for poverty and all the shit that comes with it.
I’ve practiced medicine in Pontiac, MI and London, KY. One poor black community, another poor white community. Their complaints — about the health care system and how their communities are treated — are the exact same. Systemic neglect. But who they blame differs and so they vote completely differently.
