49.9 million Americans were uninsured in 2010. That’s 16.3% of the total population.
A record high of 26,100 people aged 25 to 64 died for lack of health coverage in the same year.
That makes for a rate of about 72 deaths per day, or three per hour.
Why? For insurance industry profits. When it comes to healthcare it’s time to put people over profit.
