Study links 45,000 U.S. deaths to lack of insurance | Reuters
"We're losing more Americans every day because of inaction ... than drunk driving and homicide combined," Dr. David Himmelstein, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, said in an interview with Reuters.
Overall, researchers said American adults age 64 and younger who lack health insurance have a 40 percent higher risk of death than those who have coverage.
As Rep. Alan Grayson said, the Repub/pottie health care plan is three-fold -
Part 1) Don't get sick.
Part 2) If you do get sick...
Part 3) Die quickly.

That's it. That's what the US has come to. Other countries get excellent health care while we just pay the high taxes for it.
That is a CROCK of CRAP. We have always--always given health care to the poor in this country. It's called Medicade. Even those without insurance are treated as any other patient with medical insurance, through grants and other agencies if not eligible for medicade.
You can walk into any emergency hospital room in this country for illness or other and get treated--regardless of your ability to pay, and or if you do or do not have medical insurance.
This is and always has been the democrat propaganda for national health insurance. It's just another LIE coming out of the Democrat party. Surprise/Surprise
