This study is absolutely absurd!! How in the world have we come to attribute life to insurance coverage?? There is only one giver and taker of life.

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted"
Ecclesiastes Ch3, vs 1-2

"There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death..."
Ecclesiastes Ch8, vs 8

"For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh"
IICorinthians Ch.4 vs 11

And many, many more

How many Canadians or Cubans die every year waiting to get care that their government ran systems won't give them?

What percentage of the general US population is this number ? Maybe .0001% ??

ALL emergency rooms are required to treat EVERYBODY illegal & legal citizens with or without insurance. That is why the rest of us with insurance pay 16$ for a hospital grade iron pill.

Stupidity is the ONLY reason people die in the US. A retired guy may have had a mini stroke this weekend & refused to see a doctor.

How many people that DO NOT have insurance BUT who do have the opportunity for care refuse to get it? It is a statistic that is avoided but that is very real. Reform is necessary but keep the statistics real and not inflated for either case.
