You are simply making it up nonsense. 2017 isn't even over.

It's clear in the OP, the years when American life expectancy fell was 2015 & 2016.

i.e. During the last 2 years of Obama's policies and when Americans were forced to buy Obamacare.

Quite damning of Obama & his policies.

Wrong.

There's a difference between being not for profit and for profit. Then there's blatant faux not for profit.

I have no problem with capitalism.

What I have a problem with is abuse. Can't be a Televangelist or hospital and claim not for profit, when your opulence is on display.
I merely suggest ending abuse and making not for profits put their money where their mouth is. When you have board members clearing 6 or 7 figures per year claiming to be a not for profit organization/charity those board members better be with biafra kids giving them needles, dressing them, and feeding them. Same regards with a hospital. Board members best be surgeons/nurses working on the floor interacting with patients/treating patients, making sure the latest and greatest is available.

What you have confused is an attack on capitalism. I'm not against capitalism what so ever. Phony not for profits that engage in crony capitalism full tilt just don't have the balls to admit it they are for profit. As long as the board members profit and nobody else does LOL
I believe what Lloyd Blankfein makes is abuse not to mention his ability to perjure himself and get away with it. Capitalism does not make the judgement calls you are making.

No other conclusion can be reached other than Obamacare is killing millions of Americans and decreasing our lifespan.

BS! A search for "opioid crisis reduces US life span" produces ~556,000 hits in .51 seconds.

You're the one making up nonsense.

That's why the country is in the mess it is. Obama's lies are what have us in the position we are in but rarely do I see you hit back there.

When facts are made optional as here, any conclusion can be reached.

His lies directly led to the (D)'s losing large majorities in the House and Senate and then the White House.

That's notably lacking the specifics I asked for and is still little but your opinion. And does nothing to explain the election of a NYC con-man with a well documented history of lies.
