What a meaningless statistic. The study may as well have found a correlation between being male and likelihood of dying. Correlation is not causation. Did the lack of insurance cause death? How? Unless that question is answered, your study is worthless.

Lack of health insurance,” that study found, “is associated with as many as 44,789 deaths per year in the United States...more than those caused by kidney disease.”


178,000 Americans die annually due to hospital or doctor error.
Almost 1.2 million Americans die annually from heart and cancer diseases.
You have a lot more work to do.
