'Yes, people will die. This one tends to get laughed off; can people
really die from poor access to healthcare in our wonderful country?
Here’s one small data point to prove it. When Obamacare allowed states
to expand Medicaid to cover more people, the states that expanded
coverage saved thousands of lives. There were 2,840 more deaths per year
per state in those that refused the expansion, compared to those that
implemented it. Backing up to the bigger picture, the best estimates
suggest that if 20 million people lose health insurance (an
underestimate for this bill), 24,000 will die unnecessarily.'
