19. I just mentioned this in my post above. Are some of the tens of
thousands of Americans who are dying every year, dying because they cannot afford to buy prescriptions ordered by their doctors?

I think the answer is probably 'yes'. And this may be why the restrictions have been relaxed, because if the US will not provide affordable health care for its poor and elderly, and the public learns that this is causing huge numbers of deaths, there would have been far more outrage than there has been.

I think it's only now that all of this is being exposed, maybe too late to stop a Health-care bill that will still benefit the Insurance Industry. I think, considering the public is only now learning just how bad it is, any reform should be delayed until it addresses all these life and death issues.
