ACA saves 50,000 lives

Feel free to factually demonstrate that 50K projection is incorrect. In regard to your statement, yes, it COULD be true; it could also NOT be true. What you did is guess and opine; what the referenced article did was to investigate and put an actual number to it.

 

Your attempt to minimize what is a terrible, significant situation is noteworthy, but when this doesn't occur in most other developed nations, or they even show declining death rate for this particular class, then that's just really bad news.

 

1) Perhaps you have a reading disability, so I'll try and help.
the OP claimed, "Forbes reports that the ACA has saved 50,000 lives". That's false. Forbes reported, "the Obama administration today said 50,000 fewer patients died in hospitals". They also stated "due in part to initiatives woven into the Affordable Care Act", which, of course, in and of itself debunks the OP's claim that the ACA saved 50,000 lives. But beyond that, it's patently false to claim 50,000 lives have been saved based on a report that states "50,000 fewer patients died in hospitals".
Hope that helps.

 

more people having access to health care is a good thing and only a sociopath would disagree with that

 

0.00134% increase in anything over 15 years is no big deal. I'm sure, America is way ahead in some other health categories over other countries.

 

on what factual basis?

 

This doesn't include the numbers of babies killed in the abortion clinics they funded.
The economic damage caused by all of those lost souls in incalculable.

 

this country does not agree with you



women will controil their own bodies no matter how much you want them slaves to your ideas

 

Well then the stats haven't been done yet for 2014 to now so your statements are not facts. My link was from 1940 to 2013 on death stats.

 

people not dying for lack of care is a good thing


Only a sociopath would disagree

 

If 12 billion was saved in healthcare cost, this only means these people never used healthcare services.

 

The baby is not part of the woman's body. It's a separate entity with rights of it's own.
Your lack of intellectual understanding of that fact is what condemns you to trying to rationalize murder.

 

Lol the left has you so blinded. I kinda feel bad.

 

Washington and State Capitals calculate savings differently from me and you. Say, this year they budgeted an increase in spending of 5%, and the next year only of 3%. That means, next year we'll be saving 2%.

 

this must be what you mean...

Dead is alive; alive is dead. With the ACA, there'd be 50K more deaths; without it, 50K more people live to see another day. That, to me, is "lives saved"

is that right?

 

Until I see a reduction in the number of deaths after 2012, I might consider what you stated but until then the verdict is still out.

 

Is it demonetization if one simply notes a daemon? .Also the number, 50,000 was simply made up, an imaginary number..

 

again, not true

 

I respect your spirit but you are fighting a losing battle, an increase in health insurance is obviously going to save lives.

 

If iut cant survive outside of the woman than its NOT separate.

You don't get to stick your fingers in peoples FLESH for your myth laced religions

 

No help at all. However, Google was (and I suggest you learn how to do a search):

The agency is a part of the federal Department of Health and Human Services, and its report takes a preliminary look at a program called Partnership for Patients that was created by the health care law. The program aims to get 3,700 hospitals -- along with physicians, nurses, employers, patients, government officials and others -- to work together to cut preventable hospital-acquired conditions by 40 percent between 2010 and 2014 and to reduce hospital readmissions by 20 percent over the same period.

The report found that "approximately 50,000 fewer patients died in the hospital as a result of the reduction in HACs (hospital-acquired conditions), and approximately $12 billion in health care costs were saved from 2010 to 2013." This occurred "during a period of concerted attention by hospitals throughout the country to reduce adverse events," the report said.

Independent experts said the report is credible.

I hope you keep a couple issues of Forbes available in your bathroom in case you're out of regular paper.

Perhaps in some categories. However, overall, we're behind. Sorry.

 

just like you republicans crash the economy on purpose you want our healthcare to not work for the people

 

Probably a result of the bad economy and depression and suicide

Me as well when I go to the hospital

 

I get it Im still here thanks to the Doctors and nurses. Not because of insurance. They treat you with or without it.

Like I said Nixon was a great progressive president if you like that sort of thing
