    CP?
    So, five long years of more affordable coverage and increased medicaid participants didn't help stabilize or increase the life expectancy. Good to know.

    Your wrong; Obamacare is a mere shell of what it was when originally passed into law; Trump was supposed to come up with a superior health plan and so far all we've gotten is lip service and over 20 million Americans without healthcare.

    99% of ObamaCare is still intact.

    The only thing that changed is that the individual mandate was repealed.

    But ALL other aspects of ObamaCare are still there.

    Try to keep up.

    The Republicans don't control the house anymore.

    Tell the new cucks in the house to send the senate a clean repeal bill.

    The Republican house did fulfill their promise and passed a clean repeal bill.

    It was the senate that couldn't come through with the clean repeal because of the left's favorite cuck John "Maverick" McCain.

    What the hell are you talking about?

    99% of ObamaCare is still intact.

    Only the individual mandate was repealed.

    Educate yourself.

    It was a Republican plan Romney put in in Mass.

    the individual mandate was 99% of Obamacare. That's what the hell i'm talking about; stop with the self-important attitude while your at it; you are not impressing anyone save yourself.

    In this case you are incorrect, had you bothered to read the report the decrease in life expectancy is largely due to suicide which was largely due to the crap economy we went through eight years of under the previous administration, and administration that proffered low wages, high unemployment and more welfare where the new norm.

    If you read the actually story that the OP is deliberately mischaractersizing, you’ll note that the one segment of the population that is dragging everyone else down are white. This is because the suicide rate has skyrocketed, and because of the opioid epidemic, which is especially bad in red state America.

    Never mind that that crap economy was the produce of eight plus years of GOP mismanagement, refusal to regulate dangerous speculative products like derivitaves, pushed cheap credit, and ran up huge debts.

    Economies don’t improve (or collapse) magically the day after a Presidential election. That sort of thinking is for the right wing talk radio types who have very short memories.

    Keep on pushing that old tired line, nobody is buying it, but don't let that stop you.

    Exactly so, as I said above. At least someone actually read the report.

    You clearly have no clue. Obamacare doesn't even resemble national healthcare.

    You mean like not being able to afford healthcare?

    Sorry.

    Wait until 5G is fully implemented in this country. Life expectancy and quality of life will decline even more dramatically.

    The change to 5G involves different frequencies than earlier versions, and there have been 0 tests by industry as to health implications resulting from those higher frequencies.

    It reminds me of how the tobacco industry quashed any information regarding the harms of tobacco smoke, even as US soldiers and sailors were given free cigarettes when entering the service.

    Tests conducted by citizens in England and Switzerland where the systems are slowly being installed show high levels of EMF radiation.

    But please CBS, don't tell us anything about that.

    All the frequencies, including mm wave that 5G will use are non-ionizing, therefore they do not pose a health risk.
