    This is a logical trick - the longer you live, the likely you get richer.

    I understand everyone’s bias, but not why such pleasant to find moments are left ignored.

      Not 1% rich, as the article says.

      Years of being unable to afford preventative care, and insurance coverage denial for helpful procedures, mean the average person will die sooner. The lifespan of Americans is much lower, despite higher costs of healthcare, when compared against peer countries.

      I bet there’s more plastic in poorer people as well.
