Now that President Donald Trump is in the Oval Office, thousands of American lives that were previously protected by provisions of the Affordable Care Act are in danger. For more than 30 years, we have studied how death rates are affected by changes in health-care coverage, and we're convinced that an ACA repeal could cause tens of thousands of deaths annually.
The story is in the data: The biggest and most definitive study of what happens to death rates when Medicaid coverage is expanded, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that for every 455 people who gained coverage across several states, one life was saved per year.
Applying that figure to even a conservative estimate of 20 million losing coverage in the event of an ACA repeal yields an estimate of 43,956 deaths annually.

Guesstimates.....always the way I like my so called facts
Hey why not 43 million, it will have the same truth.
Or destroy the entire galaxy.
Oh sure.
They need to prove that obamacare saved 43,000 people per year.
hmmm.... what a name
I suppose it beats her stage name - Trixie Johnsongobbler
The next step is to start airing those every few seconds commercials on the radio. Every few seconds, someone dies without obamacare..
Not enough deaths for the leftists. They despise humanity.

>> “Repealing Obamacare Will Kill more than 43,000 People every year” <<
Healthcare in general kills way more than that.
Ending “healthcare” will doubtless save millions of lives that would be lost to drugs and quackery.
.
homobamacare supporters are strong proponents of Survival of the Fittest until they discover that they are the unfit.
Neil Cavuto reported statistics a couple of days ago of how many MORE DEATHS have occurred from medical problems since the inception of OCARE it was really astounding!!! People NOT getting the medical care NEEDED to save their lives!!! This report is PURE BS!!!
Yep. Or people just not going to the doctor, even if they suspect something might be wrong, because they cannot afford the deductible.
Which 43,000?
.
AMEN!
So 43,000 people stopped dying in 2009? The BS meter is off the charts!
Current numbers show that 210,000 Americas die every year due to medical mistakes. So, yes in a matter of a decade, millions would be saved inadvertently by avoiding those quality doctors that still accept homobamacare patients.
724,000 are murdered every month in Chicago.
If Dems, OK by me!
14 million people are alive because they refused to sign up for 0bamaCare.
I know, I’m one of them.
Fear mongering is from the Left’s playbook. Soon they will be warning America that Trump will be rounding up mothers older than 50 and sending them to internment camps.
