Congress states that over 31 million people are with out health care coverage, of that number congress also claims 70 people die each day or 25,550 per year die due to no Health care.

With those numbers lets look at the HC Reform bill in true numbers and costs:

Last year 2,424,000 people died in this country. With the given statistics given by congress, that means approx. 266,664 people had no health care, 25,550 of those died directly to no health care. The present cost for the HC Bill is $900 Billion over 10 years. this is $35,225,048 or $3,522,548 per person per year of tax payer money to save the 25,550 people who die each year due directly to no health care.

Keep in mind, 2,157,336 of the deaths in this country had HC and still died.

Here are a few more stats and reform suggestions to consider:
Car Crash Reform: There were nearly 6,420,000 auto accidents in the United States in 2005. The financial cost of these crashes is more than 230 Billion dollars. 2.9 million people were injured and 42,636 people killed. About 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States -- one death every 13 minutes. Most of those victims had car and health insurance, remember health insurance may not cover car crash injuries. So HC bill will not save those lives.

FLU REFORM:The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 35 to 50 million Americans come down with the flu during each flu season.The CDC estimates that in the US more than 100,000 people are hospitalized and more than 20,000 people die from the flu and its complications every year. HC Bill will not save those lives.

Be smart, this is NOT HC reform just another Government entitlement.
