I see that both CNN and Reuters have also paraded out this fraudulent tripe today...both passed it off as a legitimate 'Harvard' study. Yahoo had the Reuters article as it's main headline for much of the morning.

In actuality it was done by a left wing group - Physicians for a National Health Program - who advocate for single payer healthcare.

Here's a thread on the CNN story:

Here's the al-Reuters story - they at least mention the group and what they advocate for:

I think thee is more credible evidence that smoking and drinking cause many more deaths than this study so why not ban tobacco products and alcohol?

More Americans die from accidents every year (of all kinds, not just auto), so let’s outlaw carelessness.

If they get government health care the number of deaths would be 450,000

Lotsa stuff to discount here, but the one thing that really sticks out is the apparent belief that just having an insurance policy guarantees you’ll live longer, whether it you use it, or it provides quality care, or not. Major logical flaw there.

The study itself has some data that shows that those with less than high school educations die at a rate that’s greater than the uninsured, as do those with low incomes, the unemployed, smokers, and heavy drinkers. Excluded from the study are those on government run insurance plans, which I found interesting. Essentially, it’s a study that shows that those who take care of themselves are likely to live longer, and some people who won’t spend their own money taking care of themselves will do it if someone else pays for it.

Here’s the study:
