Uninsured, working-age Americans have 40 percent higher death risk than privately insured counterparts I always roll my eyes at the way these things are framed. Everyone, whether insured, has a 100% lifetime death risk.

wonderful study,, mass gen hospital refuses to take on new patients. what is the answer since the system is having trouble taking on new insured like in ma. what will a national program do if they add 40 million to health insurance program... not enough doctors... have we addressed supply of drugs? get to see dr but cannot afford drugs for recovery? is this in estimated expenses? i doubt any quick answers.
