It is baffling isn't it. What is it about these people that makes them consistently die so young? We may never be able to put the pieces together and figure it out.
Every year, my insurer (United Health Care) sends me a survey, that I must answer or they will raise my rates even higher than they are. They ask if I use tobacco in any form, Do I drink alcoholic beverages, how many servings of various food items I eat per week, how much I exercise and what form of exercise, when I had my last physical, tested for diabetes and on and on and on.
The single question they have never asked and never will is if I am a fudge packing queer. A dangerous life style where the AIDS carriers die young with that very expensive disease that queers are very prone to getting.
We live in a backwards world.
By the way, AIDS testing is free, no deductible, no co pay, for medicare recipients.
