I think I can link to sources that show how that number is arrived at

I could link to sources that do the same thing, but the numbers have nothing behind it.

I've already linked to developed arguments about why the numbers are rather useless.

But before you start, can you give a reasonable argument why more people might die now that more people have insurance.?..

Most likely (but not absolutely certainly) having the insurance would not kill them. But your not asking a relevant question. The issue is not "does having insurance make you more likely to die"? (f that's the question my answer, with fairly high confidence would be no.) The question is does Obamacare, make people more likely to die. They are different questions.

Also its far from certain that more people will have insurance.
