    We spend far more health care dollars on women then men at all stages of life

    Of course this has nothing to do with women living 4 years longer then men on average. In fact a white woman's life expectance is 14 years longer than a black man's! Talk about the Sisterhood vs. Brotherhood. If Obama had any balls he would confront Hillary with this but I think he is so focused on opposition to white men only that HRC skate by.
