I mean, maybe? It didn't help Steve Jobs and he had basically infinite money too.

Steve Jobs chose homeopathic "treatment" over modern medicine though; they caught his cancer early enough that he had a very high chance of survival if he went the medical route. He chose against science, so he's not the best example in this case.

Paul Allen might be more fitting, since he had Lymphoma and despite his billionaire status and top-tier medical treatment still succumbed to his illness.

I'm not saying that he'll be cheating death. When it's his time it's his time regardless of money. I'm just saying the treatments he's recieveing is probably stuff that insurance companies don't even bother to pick up the phone for you know?

I can't explain without getting into full conspiracy theories about why I think this, I have no studies on hand to back this but I have no doubt rich people get better treatment. Add on that a world leader of, arguably, the second most powerful nation (at last time of counting. Next year will probably knock em down a few pegs)
