98. Another Brief Article

Dec 2024

This is a brief and older article that shows data on the number of deaths due to a lack of health insurance. I am looking for more current data but have not turned up any of it yet with a quick search. I would imagine that the number of people dying from a lack of health insurance coverage may remain high. In this article it was tens of thousands. So a pretty large number.
