We don't need a bigger safety net, all that results in is more unwanted people who were born only as a source of more state help. Health care needs to be reformed to take the profit motive out of providing healthcare.
Corruption and fraud is a separate issue. A decent country still needs a safety net, and that safety net shouldn't be scaled back as some libertarians suggest. U.S. life expectancy is already not good for such a rich country (it's the same as Cuba's, slightly better than Mexico's).
Hispanics tend to be poorer, fatter, and less educated than whites. They also tend to live longer. All of these are known facts, so it's absurd to conclude that one of them shows the others to be myth. The only reasonable conclusion to draw is that there are other important factors, like genetics, which effect life expectency.
Not really their are tons of other factors that lead to higher life expectancy. i.e Whites are the most rural population in this country, have a heart attack or a life-threatening medical emergency how close is the nearest Ambulance.
Please give us your racial/ethnic hierarchy and it's easily disproven by comparing countries and within countries statistic... Poverty and other factors do wonders to people's health. Also you assume it's a normal curve, for all you know ranchers and farmers/farm hands who are Hispanic might have a low obesity rate because their constantly working day in day out while urban hispanics are increasing the rate but have better access to healthcare. While it's flipped with whites as poor whites in small towns aren't as likely to be farm-hands or ranchers and have a high obesity rate while urban whites have a lower obesity rate.
Look at the chart of lowest life expectancy counties vs. highest in both cases most of them are white... Even though black and Asians dominate each side of the spectrum. Their isn't a single county from Hawaii there and their is only a few Mississippi counties there and I haven't even checked their demographics. On both sides their rural, but a different type of rural.

As opposed to all of the unwanted people being born throughout the world without a robust social safety net? Why is it that developed countries with a robust safety net are experiencing decreased birth rates? How do you propose to take the profit motive out of health care, wouldn't that be apart of expanding the social safety net?
People who are less educated and have fewer opportunities for economic growth have more kids...regardless. This is something that happens. Taking away the safety net isn't going to do a damn thing except for create a mass reaction and result in a lot of pain.
Working White men seek less medical care, check-ups, ignore issues, HAVE DEDUCTABLE INSURANCE THAT OTHER PRIORITY FOR THEIR INCOMES..... take precedence. Our Medical care is good. But COST AND PAY TILL LARGE DEDUCTABLES ARE MET YEARLY. Prevent men going for care till too late.
Why these on the Far Right think we have the best care in just Private Company chosen plans that most men avoid if little is covered till big deductibles met. Will continue this trend.
We see Putting in extra hours to compete adding STRESS and pay bills as the expectation. Takes tolls. Basic check-ups should be covered for plans. Some it takes extra tries to get paid preventive test also that can discover issues early .... rather then too late.
More and more men are experiencing burn-out later in life and emotional issues caused by decades of stress. Not everyone has lives of proper-investments and less-stressful later years then. Or gained job positions that gave them financial gains and top-insurance plans.
I don't know a single person who would be glad to see this.
What is wrong with you?
It seems like some people wouldn't mind if these people just died in the streets (of course, they'd complain that Democrat run cities couldn't keep their streets clean). Sounds a lot like Scrooge, doesn't it? How timely.
But why does White Man cheer when regulations are taken off the chemicals and emissions that cause his stress and cancer? Why does he cheer at lower wages and the primacy of corporations (capital) over labor and human beings?
One might say "white man" gets what he asks for. In some other states he asks for...and gets...better.
Hispanic Women in New England are outliving others...by far. That's interesting since it is a fact that poverty is stressful. Maybe they are content to less or more family orientated (stress, but of a different sort).
Why do you use bigoted statements while you make things up? As if chemicals and emissions only affect whites and not hispanics. LMAO What an absurd statement.
But keep bringing in third world "immigrants"....who cares, right? Just replace us with consistently democrat voters...
Well, there are two things at play here:
Lots of immigrant groups used to vote Republican, and heavily so. Maybe you need to figure out why they're not doing that so much anymore.
Birthrates: You've sounded the hysteria about Caucasian birthrates dropping. Get to work reproducing - like the Mormons, and to some evangelical Christians like the Quiverfull movement.
