  4.  @KepShep , culture has a lot in how those programs are ran. To give a simple example look up "Hofstede dimensions" and how that is looked at with businesses. Every nation has different cultures and that dictate how the society runs including healthcare. Next, that 45,000 number has been countered in many ways. One, what do you have to compare that to? People die in every nation due to lack of healthcare. For example, up to 7000 people die a year in Australia while waiting for "elective" surgery where "elective" surgery can include neurosurgery.   What study from other countries do you have to compare that to? Nothing, so that makes it an empty stat. It is like this. I pay $760 a month in rent, based on that alone tell me if you think I am paying too much, or if I am getting a good deal. Next, those 45,000 are poor and bad health is associated with being poor to begin with. As Prof. Katherine Baicker stated the issue becomes do they die due to lack of access or due to being in bad health to begin with? As she shown in her Oregon study even with people having access to healthcare people still had bad physical health due to poor lifestyle choices. There are higher rates of obesity and smoking with the poor. Also, people in that condition have man healthcare complexes so even if you give them healthcare how much longer will they live? In the book "Being Mortal" the author there describes how people look to modern medicine to live another 5 or 10 years but maybe live another 5 or 10 months. So even if they receive access and live 5 more months in agony while costing people a bunch of money, was that a success? I encourage you to read up on healthcare more and not just throw numbers out there if you are going have a strong opinion on healthcare.
