Study Links 45,000 U.S. Deaths a year to lack of Insurance

To put this into perspective, according to the CDC for 2006, the leading cause of death was heart disease standing at 631,636. That was out of the total of 2,426,264 deaths. Therefore the number of deaths attributed to the lack of insurance is less than 2% of the total.
