and sadly, I think you may be right.

There isn't much on TV these days so I started watching some of these live cop shows. They show poor people across America being arrested, and one thing I noticed is that a heck of a lot of those people don't take care of their teeth, pretty certain they have no dental insurance. Rotten teeth will cause you a lot more health issues than just rotten teeth. I have Medicare and a secondary insurance that doesn't cover dental and I must say that I have probably spent 7 thousand dollars out of pocket for dental care. I get my teeth cleaned at a periodontist, 80 dollars a pop.

What's my point? Bernie Sanders has been pushing for single payer health care all of his life but billionaires have convinced poor people it's too expensive, or too communist, or too Democratic, and they go through life accepting what they have been told, that's why the richest country on the planet's life expectancy 'is pathetic, and now it is even dropping, so yeah, people accept early deaths for Krasnov.
