Ultra-liberal Harvard is flat out lying

Not surprising that the findings are from ultra-liberal Harvard. Funny how their 'research' just happens to coincide with Dems health care push.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday.

"We're losing more Americans every day because of inaction ... than drunk driving and homicide combined," Dr. David Himmelstein, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, said in an interview with Reuters.

I'm not ready to say Harvard is lying, but I would like to see how they are drawing conclusions it is from lack of healthcare. If you ask me, I bet a majority of those people could have prevented what killed them by changing the crap they stuff in their mouth everyday.

It's not your fault that you can't look after your own finances... it's the bank for exploiting your ignorance over not reading your contracts.

It's not your fault that you stuff your face with 2K calorie burgers... it's the fault of the Insurance Providers for wanting to charge you out your @ss because you're a waddling medical liability.



For shame corporations, for shame.

Funny that this research likely wasn't controlled for lifestyle. Pesky little details just don't matter.

Harvard is a very liberal joint in many respects, but HBS has some old school conservatives roaming around too.

One part looked right, many people die from inaction. I wonder if they expanded on this part of the survey or did they just say lack of insurance?

Why keep digging if you've struck the gold you're looking for?

Nevermind that it's actually gold plated crap, but the fools are fooled nonetheless.

Who knows what their methodology was for coming up with that number. But I think its fair to say that even if its an overstatement or an understatement, there is certainly a health care access problem for some people.

Financially, as I have stated before, there is certainly going to be some better efficiency built in to earlier primary care in certain cases. And the extent of it will vary depending on which version of health care reform passes. I would be skeptical of any number put out there by any side as to what that will add up to.
