> One life? 45,000 people die each year in the U.S. because of lack of insurance.

Sounds like yet another cooked up statistic.

It is silly; while not having insurance probably contributed to the deaths of SOME people every year, the question is how much money you spend in an effort to REDUCE (NOT ELIMINATE, AS THAT CAN'T BE DONE) that figure.

Are you willing to break the country to do this? Apparently, the Ds are. But what is the cost of that?

GWB made massive expenditures for treatment of AIDs, Malaria, etc. More than any administration in history by a very large margin. How many thousands of lives were saved (albeit not Americans) as a result? Will China step into this role once America has been totally destroyed by liberal debt?

45,000 is a very small number out of 300M, and I doubt if many countries can match that tiny proportion. I don't know of any that could.
