TheHotSpring.net :: The Urban Institute found that 22,000 people died in 2006, in the United States, specifically from lack of health insurance. Other projections, which count the accumulation of long-term pathologies, compounded ill health or medical “error” involving staff calculations about the wisdom of providing the most costly care to those who can’t pay, run into the hundreds of thousands.
Use this forum to gather links, statistics, and new conceptualizations of the problem, as well as to propose solutions that might allow for tens of thousands of lives to be saved each year, by expanding coverage to the whole population.
