So in a little […]

During that time, about 350 more Americans have died because they couldn’t afford health care.
That brings the total count to approximately 700 people who have died just since I […]

About 300 Americans have died because they couldn’t afford health care since I started this count five days ago.
About 50 more will die today.
Since this is turning into a kind of daily witness, I suppose I should document my source for the statistic this is based on.
Michael Moore says in Sicko, and he […]

Since I last updated this count, on Friday, about 100 more people have died in the United States because they couldn’t afford health care.
That makes about 250 Americans who were allowed to die because they couldn’t pay for treatment, just since I started this count four days ago.
About 50 more will die today.

Since I started this count two days ago, about 150 people have died here in the US because they couldn’t afford health care.

About 50 more will die today.
