<<No, people die because they did not get treatment for their illnesses or injuries or their treatment was not successful. Health insurance does NOT equal health care. Hell, even the New York Times is acknowledging that reality:>. People die for a lack of health insurance. We have a very high infant mortality rate and it is linked to income. We have something like 50 million uninsured. The poorer one's in this country are more likely to die of a treatable medical problem. I have lots of friends without health insurance and I watch them not go to the doctor when they should. And often with very serious medical problems. You have your head stuck in the sand.
