I understand how the money gap would cause treatment issues, as far as the ailments occurring due to income though I don't believe the correlation is ther for the ailments occurring, statistically. We would have to break down categorically the cause of the conditions. Which were genetic, which were from substance abuse including pharmaceuticals, street manufactured drugs, tobacco, alcohol, etc., which were from food, which were from trauma events, which were from city water, which were from lead exposure, the list goes on and on. Also know how many people end up in poverty by not graduating from high school and not going on to complete a college education? Don't get me wrong, I am not saying every college graduate lives above poverty, and I am also not saying college is the only way to live above the poverty level. My point is many people keep themselves down. Many people choose to become drug addicts, many people choose to drop out of school, many people choose to commit crimes which lands them in the system. I live in a state that either is or is near dead last in education, but these people choose not to take advantage of even the bare minimum. I went to college with illegal immigrants who strive to be successful. These entitled American punks are getting out done by people who want better. People who want better and are willing to work to achieve better is who I respect.
