It won’t save lives

Universal health insurance, that is–so says researcher Richard Kronick[*1] , from UC San Diego:

“the evidence we have concerning the relationship between lack of insurance and mortality is not very good, and a reasonable reading of that evidence is that the number of deaths in the United States probably wouldn’t change a lot if everybody gets health insurance.”

One more for the very, very large file of “things that sound good but are simply not true.”
