In this country the rich live many years longer (on average) than the poor. If you want to live a long life, try to inherit money. Cash buys time on this planet.
Even so, I wondered how Republican legislators can justify supporting Trump Care. The Congressional Budget Office (headed by a Republican openly opposed to our current Obama Care) has issued a report predicting that Trump Care will, if enacted, push 22 million additional Americans off of health insurance. That means Trump Care will do two things: boost billionaires by lowering their taxes and kill tens of thousands of our poor citizens each month. How can a legislator justify supporting more death for poor people?
The answer seems to be that Republicans justify Trump Care by flatly denying that it will harm anyone. Also the earth is 6,000 years old.
We have evolved as thinking mammals whose belief systems can at times overpower facts and blind us to probabilities.
