Even if the study showed that people accepted to be destitute in order to afford treatment, would that change the political outcome? Is it ok then?

I am eargerly waiting for the results of the studies that will finally shed some light on whether poor people sleeping in the streets live as long as well fed and housed people. Finally once we have these results we can show them to the political class, thay were only waiting for facts!

But the reason is also that autism has been extremely expanded in its definition. Many previously separately listed mental, intellectual and social disabilities are now included in autism; even ADHD is now a form of autism.

Also, misbehaving black children are less likely to be marked for evaluation than white children in school. teachers assume they are misbehaving because they are badly behaved, whereas a misbehaving white student must have some problem going on.

The healthcare system in the USA is broken. I have GERD and need to see a surgeon, but I'm currently in between jobs whlie in Graduate School so I'm just managing by drinking herbal teas and not eating much food.

Healthcare should be universal and free for everyone. It's a ridiculous system in a ridiculous country where people avoid healthcare they need because of money.

On the flip side, my mom HAS health insurance but got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in her late 60s. Her injections to try to save her life were thousands of dollars per injection even with health insurance. Damned if you do damned if you don't really.
