My latest for @GlobeOpinion on the real humanitarian crisis facing America - our indifference to the plight of our fellow citizens
It's important to remember that America has a serious gun crisis - 40,000 Americans killed last year by a firearm, which is the highest number in 50 years.
America also has an opioid crisis - more than 70,000 Americans died of a drug overdose in 2017
We have a life expectancy crisis - in 2017, life expectancy went down for the third consecutive year, which hasn't happened in America since 1918
We have a maternal mortality crisis, a child poverty crisis, and an obesity crisis - in fact, 40% Americans are considered obese
What we most certainly do NOT have is a border crisis.
Oh and here's one more crisis, we should be talking about - a child born in America is 70 PERCENT more likely to die before reaching adulthood than a child in similar developed country. THAT IS A CRISIS.
