Hospitals, Doctors and Pharmacists Killed 225,000 people last year. Is Obamacare killing more people than guns?

    Can t tell if this is a troll question. I would first like to know your sources, but your figures seem absurdly high. Obamacare is far better than the previous medicare/whatever its called BS. Everyone has flaws, by giving essentially everyone in the US medical plans, that means more doctor, pharmacist and hospital visits, which in turn would also mean a greater number of patient death.

    I do not see this as having a relation to the ACA/Obamacare, except to say,

    The ACA also instituted much needed quality measures that have been credited with saving 50,000 lives.

    Also, your question does not consider the number of people that doctors indicated need to be DNRd. That issue brings up the question why can't we have EMTALA for all providers.

    People are volunteering for it. Unfortunately, a lot of people are using 'medical care' as a substitute for love and attention. Every prescription and every pill is like a little hug and a bowl of Mom's chicken soup. Most people would do better with volunteering in the community and exercise than they do with 'medical care'.

    I read both of your links, but I can't find the part that mentions Obamacare. Do you have a link for that?

    If you are going to make up numbers, why not pick a number that will get everyone's attention. Geez, at least a trillion.
