This isn't true man. Someone on Medicaid has better access to care than any of us. To be on medicaid you need to make less than $12500/yr.
These same people have much higher rates of IMR because of poor choices. Go read any legit study on the topic anywhere. The causes of IMR are pre-teen and young teen pregnancy, drugs, poor eating habits, and stress. All of these women have access to a few pre natal screenings. All of them. Usually they have free access.
Is it that hard for you to accept reality--that healthcare access differs based on $$?

By copying the best of those systems, efficiency would be vastly improved and outcomes could improve even as costs decreased.

"NLIHC found that a worker needs to earn $17.90 an hour at a full-time job — 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year — to afford a modest one-bedroom apartment. That's over $10 more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25."
LeonDurham sayslol--if only it were that easy. Pretty sure a high school education and a job at Walmart doesn't keep you from being poor.
What is your opinion based on? The Brookings Institute studied decades of data.

Television audiences get bleeped version and wonder what they missed
DeNiro walked out and said 'I’m just going to say one thing, and that's f*** Trump'
The audience leapt to it's feet, and cheered the statement while the actor, 74, pumped his fists
THEN he said 'its no longer 'down with Trump', its 'f*** Trump' and the audience cheered again
Robert DeNiro yelled 'f*** Trump' during a foul-mouthed rant at the Tony Awards and got a standing ovation.
The audience went wild, some rising to their feet. DeNiro pumped his fists triumphantly.
The outburst was bleeped, so Broadway fans watching at home didn't hear the expletive.
