Bookending the death toll due to a lack of health insurance, Benen presents a more conservative, yet still immorally sizable casualty number:
For adult Americans under the age of 65 -- those, in other words, who can't qualify for our wildly popular socialized-medicine program -- 68 people die every day due to lack of coverage. By the end of the decade, it will be 84 Americans per day.
That's 2,040 per month. 2,520 in ten years. So given the range of studies and casualty figures, I think it's safe to say we're talking about a new 9/11 every month (2,973 Americans were killed on 9/11). When will the Democrats and the White House frame it in these terms? This is real, this is happening, this is a national tragedy.
