    Wait times are longer in America than most countries with Universal Healthcare.

    Death from lack of preventative care and life expectancy is lower in the US than most wealthy nations.

    Your numbers are compelling. However, they will only have an effect on people who value human life. It's unfortunate that the right-wing claim to being concerned for human life does not extend beyond birth. That's why we know it's hypocritical.
