This is what happens when people who hate the government run the government. There is a tremendous incentive for them to do a bad job and hurt people so that people believe the public sector is incapable of providing a basic standard of living for everyone.

A core problem in American health is inequality. The richest 1% live 12 more years than the poorest 1%. Racial disparities cause Black Americans to die 4 years sooner than White Americans.

Now remember: Trump's policies which will *worsen* inequality.
