China spends 95% less than the US on healthcare per capita, but has a healthy life expectancy that is approximately 4 years longer.

I will always be convinced that building our neighborhoods and cities the way that we have into giant sprawling suburbs have ruined our future. I believe it's making us sicker, mentally unwell, and a royal waste of time, money and happiness. That, and car culture go hand in hand.

All it takes is political will and empathy. We COULD have good things, but some people prefer to be cruel.

Yeah, it’s called Universal Healthcare! Most all industrialized countries in the world have a Universal Healthcare system. Only the U.S. doesn’t. In fact Trump’s big beautiful bill will cause over 4 million people to loose ACA healthcare & raise premiums to the rest. Not counting Medicaid cuts.
