Cocytus 04/09/24 11:34:32 AM #1:	Why do we die? The latest on aging and immortality from a Nobel Prize-winning scientist https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/09/health/aging-death-why-we-die-wellness/index.html "Already the top 10% of income earners in both the US and the UK live more than a decade longer than the bottom 10%. If you look at health span the number of years of healthy life that disparity is even greater. Poorer people are living shorter, less healthy lives. Many very rich people are pouring huge amounts of money into research, hoping to develop sophisticated technologies to prevent aging. If these efforts succeed, the very rich will benefit initially, followed by people with very good insurance, and so on. Rich countries will likely have access before poorer countries. So, both within countries and globally, such advancements have the potential to increase inequalities." --- You're never ever fully dressed without a smile! <cite>Cocytus posted [p:979819491] in It's sad t...

LeoRavus 04/09/24 11:59:37 AM #9:	They have access to the best medical care. If you're poor enough to get Medicaid you're still fucked. No real doctors want Medicaid patients and every nurse practitioner or state funded specialist you see is clueless. The government makes it hard for doctors to get paid so they don't take poor patients. The whole system is designed to make poor people disposable. --- This is where cool people write stuff. <cite>LeoRavus posted [p:979819814] in It's sad t...

A bunch of rich people have died over the last 5 years from cancer (black panther actor). Guarantee he had way better insurance than I do. I survived my battle with cancer (during Covid) , he didn't. I think the inherit bias with this research is demographic. Eastern Asia and South Asian have a much longer life span. My family is south Asian and my grandfather was known to die "young" at 85. So, there are definitely flaws with these types of statistics. If anything, this is more true in north America, European countries. The population size of the sample can skew the results. --- Above all things, never be afraid.

A bunch of rich people have died over the last 5 years from cancer (black panther actor). Guarantee he had way better insurance than I do. I survived my battle with cancer (during Covid) , he didn't. This is a study that was done between 2001-2014 that showed in the United States people with higher incomes on average lived longer than people with low incomes. Obviously individual cases are going to vary but the study showed a life expectancy gap and that over the course the study the gap appeared to be widening. One thing it notes in the results is that the gap in life expectancy varies a lot between different regions. In some parts of the country the rich generally don't live much longer than the poor but in other parts they tend to live significantly longer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4866586/ Since you mentioned covid, here's a recent study that was looking at covid mortality rates in the U.S. by income level. What it found is it depended on whether the state was a Medicaid-expansion state. In states that are, the mortality rates from covid were similar across all income levels. In non-Medicare-expansion states, the mortality rates were generally higher among low income residents versus high income. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9371257/ --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
