73. Are they though? Is anyone besides the other billionaires?

I'm a chronic patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Even my maintenance meds are over $5K per month, never mind complications.

I think the only people who would say healthcare in this country is "affordable" for anyone outside of billionaires is someone who isn't sick and/or wants to defend the health insurance industry. Do you have some secret knowledge of the Mangione family wealth, and/or whether that wealth is available for his use for healthcare? He's part of a very big family. Maybe he has a trust fund. We don't know, and if he does, we don't know the worth.
