GOTV 2014 Reminder: The GOP is prepared to kill THOUSANDS of Americans because they hate the ACA
Study: Thousands Of People Will Die In States That Don't Expand Medicaid
Dylan Scott
As many as 17,000 Americans will die directly as a result of states deciding not to expand Medicaid under Obamacare, according to a new study.
Researchers from Harvard University and City University of New York have estimated that between 7,115 and 17,104 deaths will be "attributable to the lack of Medicaid expansion in opt-out states" in a study published in Health Affairs.
"The results were sobering," Samuel Dickman, one of the authors, said, according to the Morning Call.
"Political decisions have consequences, some of them lethal."

"Low-income adults in states that have opted out of Medicaid expansion will forego gains in access to care, financial well-being, physical and mental health, and longevity that would be expected with expanded Medicaid coverage," the authors wrote.
