Thousands die each year from lack of health care.
Note: I used health care not health insurance because it's the lack of CARE that is the cause.
Depending upon the study, we can derive that between 20,000 and 45,000 Americans die each year due to a lack of health insurance. To understand where this number comes from, we will need to look at the studies done, compare them to other statistics, and try to separate the role that income inequality plays in the mortality rate of the uninsured.
(Personally, I think this number is an understatement and it does NOT include deaths due to under insurance or deaths due to deductibles being so costly that people put off seeing the doctor, which they are).
Yes, the ACA brought down the number but THOUSANDS will still die each year. But what the heck, the insurance companies need to make their profits. 
Can we please display some outrage over this fact? Selective and inconsistent outrage begs the question - Is it nothing more than a political show?
