"The United States stands alone among industrialized nations in not providing health coverage to all of its citizens."
"Uninsurance is associated with mortality."
"Lack of health insurance is associated with as many as 44,789 deaths per year in the United States, more than those caused by kidney disease (n=42,868)."
The rest of the report is filled with disheartening details meant to back up those claims. :( An interesting read. The website claims their group has been working for more than 2 decades only on the one issue of single-payer health coverage. It's about time some legislation finally gets passed.
