It is the Federal reserve policy of low interests rates killing their
savings.
In the past, funds would have generated 7% return yearly, to pay lavish
retirements checks.
Today, with ~0% interest rate for the banks (but not for the normal
people) people is unable to pay their house, maintain it, pay their
college debts, pay their cars and have a family.

You can not fix with healthcare the fact people is unable to buy a
decent house; people is forced to work long hours to get enough money to
just survive.

What could be the average lifespan for a people with a mean 1500$ in
their bank accounts. They live hand to mouth and the healthcare can not
fix that.

The ACA just made the system untenable for the majority of people,
imposing even more inefficiencies.
