You shouldn't have tweet #disruptthesystem.

Of the 68k, how many had comorbidities? And how many were older than 77 years old? And how many died from drugs, booze and/or cigarettes?

How many Americans were well-paid by that $80 Billion? They might be calling the death of 68,000 just "cost of doing business", or say "at least the taxpayer or their families no longer have to carry that burden." But if that 68,000 had been supporting families by an income?

$80 billion / 68,000 deaths is $1.1 million per death.

Qualify lack of healthcare. Some people refuse medical care.

You do not seem to understand that there is no correlation. Who would vote for someone who does not understand?

Drug prices need to come down ... And if they don't ... they should be regulated!
