One, the big sign, about 45,000 Americans dying every year. I don't know why that doesn't send out a clarion call. We should not be so insensitive to life that 45,000 people dying does not impact our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. We've been saying this over and over again, 45,000 people. That means somebody is dying as we speak because they did not have health insurance or that they were denied.
The speaker addresses the impact of lack of health insurance leading to deaths in America.
