A simple solution would be to force Harvard Medical School to take all the Medicaid patients within a 40 mile range.

I don't get it.

I believe the same Harvard people say as many as 440k patients die each year from medical errors. I am assuming those people have insurance.

Stunning News On Preventable Deaths In Hospitals - Forbes

So the same Harvard people say by opting out. 7000-17000 people will die without health care?

So isn't it reasonable to assume if these people who didn't have health care (states that have opted out). Their lives would be saved becuse they wouldn't be exposed to these medical killing errors?

Ha ha. Harvard. Gotta love Harvard. Some times their intellectual people outsmart themselves.

They want to save lives and saying people without insurance will die. Yet say people getting medical treatment will die because of medical errors.

So what's worse?

Yes, they are gleeful about the thousands and thousands of people who right now could be covered but are not. It's unconscionable.

But the same Harvard people say hundreds of thousands die from medical errors.

So if we give more people insurance. That means way more than 7000-17000 people will die due to medical errors.
