The deaths amongst the homeless are underrepresented in the statistics for obvious reasons. But ignoring that...

> this is not a major cause of death in the US.

Wait, so people dying due to poverty isn't something that deserves attention just because it isn't common enough?

This discussion is if the United States has an issue with poverty, and the answer is: no it does not.

A tiny fraction of people dying from cold is not an indication that the US has a poverty issue.

Sure help them, no one is disputing that, but that's also not what's being discussed here.
