If you leave out the 20 to 30% of the US population with unhealthy
lifestyles (drugs, alcohol, violence, etc.), the numbers look quite
different. Yes I know, it's really not fair to leave out all of those
democrats, but it is what it is.


It certainly has nothing to do with the fact that 50 million people in
this country do not have ready access to health care, and than around 80
million do not have ready access to dental care. Naw. That couldn't have
anything to do with it.
