10. Poverty kills Americans. The GOP knows it and doesn't care. The elite somehow profit from our early deaths.

Losing ACA health insurance coverage will add to the horrendous numbers below. I guess all MAGAts are wealthy and bullet-proof like Superman-- good for them.

"245,000 deaths in the US in the year 2000 were attributable to low levels of education, 176,000 to racial segregation, 162,000 to low social support, 133,000 to individual-level poverty, 119,000 to income inequality, and 39,000 to area-level poverty.  Overall, 4.5% of US deaths were found to be attributable to poverty.... risks associated with both poverty and low education were higher for individuals aged 25 to 64 than for those 65 or older."

And the US averages 48,000 gun deaths per year.
