How many will die from lack of insurance while the Congress has a vacation?

Ed Shultz touched on this the other day. I believe the number was around 1250, due to either lack of coverage or pre-existing conditions. Shultz also had a huge number of people who would go bankrupt in that time because of medical bills. I hope the Congress folks think about the ongoing misery while they're vacationing on the taxpayers dime.

5. The number will be small in comparison

to the number that will die from the time the President signs the legislation and when the legislation takes effect. 2013 is the date that I have heard tossed around.
