I suspect there will be a mortality gap between the sick and the healthy ... but I’ll need a grant to really explore this possibility.

Another reason Bernie will say we have to eat the rich?
Could it bee the poor are influenced by bad decisions like addiction and homelessness?

No sweat!
With the failure of Obamacare, devolving into single payer, socialized medicine, we will soon be dying in equal numbers.

I think the wealthy will simply leave. Those who can will go elsewhere for medical treatment.

Well, then, I guess that justifies kill off whitey faster. We must have equal outcomes. /sarcasm

I’ve identified a considerable wealth gap between the rich and the poor, too. It’s almost as if it’s related...
To: MtnClimber
No kidding. Somebody did a survey on prom costs a few years ago and discovered that poor people spend more on their kids’ proms than middle class folks. Ya don’t say.

There will always be rich,there will always be poor——and yes,the rich have it easier.
This is worth a study?

I’ve identified a considerable gap between truth and Obama opening his mouth. Shocking, I know.

I think I’ll go to a Bernie or Hillary Rally with a Sign that says “Kill the Evil Rich and take their stuff”.
I’ll probably get high fives from everyone there.

An incredible logical fallacy is implied or strongly suggested: that IF there is a difference in the longevity between rich and poor, it is BECAUSE they are rich and poor.
Every rich person that has ever eaten caviar is dead or will be dead. Therefore, caviar causes death. That's the level upon which this logic is based.
You don't have to be poor to acquire heart disease, diabetes, tobacco use, poor oral care, poor pre-natal and poor post-natal nutrition, excessive alcohol consumption. These can happen to rich AND poor. So INCOME INEQUALITY causes diabetes?? Causes one to consume alcohol?

I noted major differences in life choices between the wealthy and the poor. Wonder if that might be a factor?
To: MtnClimber
Take the extra years from the rich and give them to the poor!!
