Despair

Life expectancy in the US goes down again. What's dragging it down? Deaths of despair among young people ... suicide, drug overdoses, car accidents, and getting shot. And, of course, the availability of guns.

Why are European countries doing so much better than us in this? Thier social programs ... universal health care, aid to the poor, sane gun laws.

I believe most Republicans would rather watch people die on the streets than increase health care access or access to social programs, much less restrict guns.
