David Sirota debated the Afghanistan escalation and health care with conservative David Frum on CNN's American Morning. Note at around 4:20 into the clip Frum refuses to acknowledge a Harvard University study showing 45,000 Americans die every year for lack of health care. As proof of his claim, he simply says "I went to Harvard University." The Harvard study can be found here:

Harvard's study comports with studies that report similar findings:
