When will the left stop lying...
... about lack of health insurance causing "Tens of Thousands of Deaths" among Americans under age 65 per year?
Happily there are relatively few (compared to the U.S. population of over 300,000,000) deaths related to any cause among Americans under age 65 per year1:
- about 150,000 among those under 45 in 2015 (only 25-45 shown in visual)
- about 500,000 among those between 45-65
Deducting accidents, homicides, and let's call them "lifestyle-choice deaths," the number is well less than 500,000 for everyone under 65. Also happily, as percent of overall population, the number is down dramatically since 1980, when the population was 100,000,000 less (33%) than it was in 2015.
To claim that 10%, 15%, or more of these relatively few but unfortunate early passings have anything to do with insurance is just an unbelievable example of how far the left will go in terms of deception, corruption, deceit and outright ugliness.
