>>Long story short is that white American men between 45 and 55 are dying faster than before, but only because now most of them are closer to 55 than to 45. It’s a mathematical artifact, there is no real story here.<<
So it is MATH’s fault!
I say we march on Washington to change math to match our political outlook!!!
The Million Man March for Math! Anti-Formulas and Arithmetic (ANTIFA)! Regression is Mean! Equations solve NOTHING! Quadsexuals for Quadratics!
Every day there is no wall, I die a little inside
I wonder if they are married ?
If so, they die because they want to.
Math is a white construct used to oppress colored people!
bkmk
Well, I’m in that age group and I’m not dying anytime soo
This is part of the media need to dispute any idea which supports conservative candidates. So white men are not dying earlier, it’s women. But they are dying from opioids, also a Trump issue.
Tell me the outcome you want and you can find someone to do a statistical analysis that proves that outcome.
I can show you a big healthcare analytics firm that comes up with the wrong conclusion out of incompetence.
Every January another firm comes out with infant mortality rates. So navigator whores claim expanding medicaid is needed to improve the infant mortality rate. But those who are uninsured and would qualify for medicaid and don’t have it are low income Hispanics.
But Hispanics (including uninsured Hispanics) have the lowest infant mortality rate of any demographic group ... lower than Blacks, lower than whites, lower than Asians. If you separate out Puerto Ricans, Mexicans have an absolutely amazing low infant mortality rate.
Meanwhile those on Medicaid have an extremely high infant mortality rate. So how is Medicaid expansion going to improve infant mortality?
Numerous other examples exist for all age groups and all demographic groups and all health problems and all causes of death.
More people die in hospitals than anywhere else. Sepsis is the #1 killer of hospital patients. I can spin that anyway you wish. Which way would you like to spin it?
Ambulance chasers going after Hospitals and driving up medical costs? or
HHS grants to Hospitals to research and research and research the problem?
or .....
