Wealthy white males in the US today are about as healthy (on the
average) as were the wealthy white males of 25 years ago, but all
other demographic groups in the US have got less healthy since then.
The study doesn't show the reason for this, but the increasing expense
of medical care in the US is surely part of the reason. The
increasing stress of living in the US under plutocracy may be
another.
The hospital that became famous for suing poor people for medical charges
they can't pay has dropped some of the lawsuits. It is going to reconsider
that policy.
Maybe after this public outrage the hospital will cease all such lawsuits.
Or maybe it won't. If it does stop, it might start again in a year or two
and hope nobody notices.
No word on whether it will rename itself as "Le Malheur".
