He’s pulling the numbers out of a lower orifice.
Let us parse these numbers a little. Over any given period of time, people WILL die. As to whether it is because they do not have access to purchase a card that says they have coverage or not, that is actually immaterial to this dialogue. With or without Obamacare, approximately the same number of people will die. Some because they did not have Obamacare, and some because they DID have Obamacare. In sum, Obamacare ends up killing off about as many as those with no access to any insurance at all.
Delay in delivery of services, or outright denial, because of the restrictions built into the mandates of Obamacare, is just as deadly as simply not having the means to seek medical assistance. Worse, Obamacare itself gives the applicant a double whammy, in that there is an imaginary “safety net” the client believes to be available, only to learn that the deductibles are so ruinously high, that the services do not kick in until the patient has spent himself (or herself) into penury and even financial chaos.
