We ought to call you the King of Wikipedia - There are other sources you know.



As I said, Wikipedia is a central repository of facts about the ACA with references that quote legitimate sources of information. If you don't like that, try this...

New England Journal of Medicine

Meanwhile, a study of Massachusetts’ 2006 reform found significant reductions in all-cause mortality and health-care–amenable mortality as compared with mortality in demographically similar counties nationally, particularly those with lower pre-expansion rates of insurance coverage.9 Overall, the study identified a “number needed to treat” of 830 adults gaining coverage to prevent one death a year. The comparable estimate in a more recent analysis of Medicaid’s mortality effects was one life saved for every 239 to 316 adults gaining coverage.29



Under GOPcare, conservatively, 11+ million people are projected to lose Medicaid coverage. These numbers translate to...

11,000,000 / 316 = 34,810 deaths/year

11.000.000 / 239 = 46,025 deaths/year

...and that doesn't include the other 10,000,000 people insured on the exchanges who would lose coverage.
