        That might be a place to start working to make America great, by bringing the promise of hope and opportunity to all and prosperity to many.

        Health is correlated with opportunity & prosperity. In communities of disparity, economic improvement is part of a path to good health.

        Again. Poverty makes people sick. Period. Cannot fix healthcare without addressing this social issue that is now the 3rd rail of politics.
