NVSS - Mortality Data

 

NVSS - Mortality Data

   I keep hearing 40,000 to 45,000 deaths bandied about due to no health insurance depending on who is doing the talking.  This is supposedly a yearly total… for this discussion I have linked to the CDC’s government web site.  The latest death information is from 2006 and shows the number of deaths nationwide to be 2,426,264. 

   Keeping the math simple, I wonder what killed the others ‘with’ health insurance. Dunno why, what with all the statistics the government collects they don’t show a category for those without insurance.  Or, to put it another way, where do people come up with these statistics?  Just wondering.
