So, some problems do solve themselves.

Maybe eventually, but not fast enough.

Why are you still trying to convince these idiots medicine is good? Just let them die

Just suck on this pine cone until it dissolves. You don't need liberal chemistry.

They're not dying, they're just earning Darwin Awards.

I bet rich conservatives aren't. Because for them it's just a grift and they will get the newest stemcell medicine as fast as possible regardless.

Make natural selection great again.

Both of my conservative parents died because they ignored their doctors and thought they knew better than professionals.

Oh, the regime will make sure we catch up. I'll give it another 5 years, modern medicine will be available only to the very rich.

The "I Don't Give A Fuck About Anyone But Myself" crowd is dying at higher rates?

Well that's just, um, well.....you know.

"By the 2020s, conservatives were dying at significantly higher rates than liberals, with the gap concentrated in internal causes (for example, heart disease, cancer and stroke). The divide since 2020 is substantial: while only 0.2% of ‘very liberal’ respondents died of internal causes between 2020 and 2022, the probability for people who identified as ‘very conservative’ was 1.14 percentage points higher (P = 0.021; 95% confidence interval (CI), (0.18, 2.11)). This gap is not limited to deaths from COVID-19 and is not reducible to demographic or geographic differences between the groups, nor is it a pure function of ageing: previous cohorts’ death patterns in older data did not show a similar correlation between health and ideology before 2010."

*in the USA.

I wonder if this applies in other places as well. Maybe more strongly in places with a two-party system?

I am spanish and i've never paid for meds XD we have free healthcare here.

Here we have another issues like not having enough doctors working there, so usually we cant get surgeries as easy as you do and here we dont get paid as you do so if i have to pay for a surgery i have spanish wage of spain but nearly american costs (kinda exagerated but really there is no good proportion, do a conversion if you wanna find out).
