that's how you end up with 45,000 people in the US of A dying each year from lack of health care...COVID killed 380,000 Americans because they lacked health care, not sure why its such a bad idea to give everyone healthcare

What's the methodology for calculating the amount of people dying from "lack of health care"?

if I had to guess, easily treatable illnesses where the early warning signs were not taken care of - or even the medium warning signs weren't taken care of, when it was treatable, correlated with "why didn't you go to the hospital?" and "couldn't afford it"

If I had to guess. I haven't looked, though, of course.
