It's not just seeing a number. Many people whom I believe are trustworthy have used it. It's an assumption, I suppose. If it's wrong, then prove it. It's not like proving a negative. These are people who would have lived if they had treatment from a doctor/er (meds, surgery, MRI scan showing tumors, etc) who didn't think they could afford it, delayed going, and therefore died (burst appendix, rapidly metastasizing cancer, severe asthma attack, etc).
