I call BS.
Obamacare doesn’t want to pay for basic screenings like breast cancer, frequent colonoscopies and lots more. Less diagnostic work, less preventative work — more death at an earlier age.
I’m not sure how much antibiotics play into this, but the drop in life expectancy is at least in part about politics and money, not “resistance”.
Plenty of people die from antibiotic resistant bugs. Tens of thousands of deaths in the United States in one year from the superbugs. Many more deaths from antibiotic resistant bacteria than numerous other diseases that the media throws on the headlines. Then it’s even more a nightmare in the third world, where instead of actually treating dirty water, repeated antibiotic treatments of people for the same waterborne diseases have spawned antibiotic resistant cholera, typhoid, and other waterborne diseases.
Now that the both the tax package has been passed and the Dems/liberals are in trouble right now, taking down Obamacare has gotten a bit easier.
if life expectancy was correctly used in statistics it would have to include the pre-born genocide of those murdered in the womb. If I could do the stats I would, but I really stink at that.
“I call BS.”
You’re right on...

Ummm… in the last year I got both a mammogram, my second and a colonoscopy, my first which were both 100% covered under the preventative screening provision of the ACA – no co-pay, no-co-insurance, nothing out of pocket for me.
Now had either of those tests found anything, like if my colonoscopy had found any polpys, which fortunately there weren’t any, it would have become diagnostic instead of preventative and I would have been on the hook for the deductible.
The doc who did my colonoscopy did get a bit of a laugh. I think I was still a bit punchy from having been put under, and after the procedure when he told me that everything looked good, no polyps and in fact my colon looked “beautiful” I said, “Beautiful colon? Well the Dali Lama once told me I’d also receive total consciousness. So I’ve got two things goin' for me, which is nice.”
