The Institute of Medicine has estimated that 18,000 people died in 2000 because they lacked insurance. By 2006, the number had risen to 22,000, according to the Urban Institute.

If true, that would be an astonishingly small number (0.07%). Almost unbelievable, and I doubt any nation in the world can match it.

How many die in countries like Canada, Great Britain, and France for want of the quality of service most Americans receive? Or in France because they can't pay their 30%?
