began increasing in 2009 through 2016
mmmm wonder what else was happening 2009-2016 while Native Americans and Blacks were increasingly going to alcohol and death?
Consider the cost to both private insurance and Medicaid .... to you ... and me.
Medicaid pays a small amount for pregnant moms, babies and kids. Medicaid pays a large amount for seniors and end-of-life causes.
Between 18 and 74, the #1 killer is lifestyle. The #1 cost to us is other people's lifestyle mistakes.

Don’t abuse booze or drugs and don’t contract hepatitis...particularly Hep C.

I hope active alcoholics are miserable and die.

Doesn't matter whos in charge. The fault is on the person drinking. Kinda like blaming McDonald's for all the fatties around here. Sure, blame a President. No thanks.

“Medicaid pays a large amount for seniors and end-of-life causes”
Are you talking about the indigent and spend-down cases where Medicaid is paying Medicare premiums? If not then to what situation are you referring?
