nice...I am not ready to make any assumptions just because I see a number.
Not that number of deaths is the defining argument for health care reform. Health conditions of people who are alive, and economic conditions of people who can't afford it are even more relevant.
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).

economic conditions of people who can't afford it
The 45,000 a year would be among that group.
