Ezra Klein charts some of the stats on how many people die each year in this country because they don't have health insurance. One might quibble with some numbers and their interpretation but clearly, the totals are horrible and well into the "we gotta fix this" category. I think we will eventually…but it'll take much longer than it could or should, with many suffering and/or dying before we do. I honestly do not understand the reluctance to do what has to be done in this area, especially coming from folks who believed everything possible had to be done to prolong a human life when that life was Terri Schiavo's.
