Repealing Obamacare would block promised coverage for 32 million people, so that would mean somewhere between 16,000 and 32,000 each year who will die prematurely. Of course, since some Republican governors and legislatures are not implementing the expansion of Medicaid coverage in their states, some of those deaths are already on their hands. |
