Opiod addiction
Teen suicides
Hoards of immigrants who arrive carrying life-shortening diseases

[JoSixChip]

Let me guess, Trumps fault.

Why the panic? Between abortion and voluntary human extinction, liberals should be celebrating!

Fewer humans around. Less impact on climate change, no?

[JohnBrowdie]

trump gutted ACA. we all died the next day, we just don't realize it yet. we're all stuck in the sequel to the sixth sense.

[Drango]

0bama owns this too.

[goldstategop]

I thought they wanted this. I really don’t understand liberals.

Psalm 90:10 The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

It was true 3000 years ago, it is true today and it will always be true until the end.

[Cowgirl]

Does that number include abortions? No, of course not.

[goldstategop]

My Dad exceeded the LE of 73 years for males. Only liberals find longevity dismal.

Maybe we’ll have a Logan’s Run future.

[MayflowerMadam]

“a nation still in the grip of escalating drug and suicide crises.”

Druggies and emotionally unstable ... that’s all I’m going to say.

[goldstategop]

If liberals are offing themselves, tell me why I should care.

[mo]

funny how that coincides wit the implementation of Obamacare..../s

Teen suicides

We can only expect teen suicides to continue to rise as this transsexual madness continues to expand.

All of these teens that are mutilated will eventually come to reality that their lives have been destroyed by the PC Police, their parents and a political system that only sees them a political minority to be manipulated.

Finding out that can never be returned to normal their lives will seem a living hell.

Doctors kill hundreds of thousands with bad subscriptions but blame guns. Abortion seriously lowers population. Drug companies jack up the prices of drugs making cures out or the price range of many. Agenda 21/2030 is well under way.

[PGR88]

The answer?

More socialism!
More social justice!
More government!
More debt!

[goldstategop]

Not my problem if society can face reality.

Look up Rapid onset Gender Dysphoria

One fundamental cause: Medicare which established government permanently within a free market medical system which was then the best in history.

Medicare led to Capitation of doctor’s rates which led to best docs quitting then to increased price and behavior control.

Once government is given ANY role in any sector, eventually it takes over 100% which is where we are thanks to passage of Obamacare. There is no going back except establishing in future government will never give money to hospitals, clinics, individuals, researchers, colleges...nobody.

[DungeonMaster]

Does that number include abortions? No, of course not.

That number is more of a max than an average.

Given that many people live to be 90 to 100 it may seem to be wrong. But, over and over I am hearing and reading from people who are very very old and loathe life. It shows that the bible number still holds. So some people hang on to life into their 80's and 90's but all fun is gone.

Eccl 12 puts it well.
