Matt Bruenig has the chart of the day/week/year:

Five separate people were bylined on a Center for American Progress post about how many people AHCA will kill. The post is quite long, but all the authors really do is take the CBO estimates of how many people will lose coverage under AHCA and then divide that number by 830. They do this because there is a study that shows that 1 person dies unnecessarily for every 830 people who lack health insurance. I have duplicated CAP’s efforts here, but rather than focus only on the AHCA, I have also included Obamacare and single payer into the mix.

Obamacare, as I've pointed out again and again, doesn't prevent people from dying for lack of access to healthcare. It wasn't designed to cover everyone—perhaps because it was crafted by a rightwing think tank—and, if it survives, it will never bring the uninsured rate down to zero.

"Under AHCA, nearly 540,000 people will die in the next decade because of lack of health insurance coverage," Bruenig writes. "For Obamacare, it is a more respectable 320,000 deaths."

Obamacare cut the uninsured rate in half—and, hey, that's great. The ACA has already saved thousands of lives and it's made our healthcare system a whole lot less evil. But tens of thousands—hundreds of thousands—of Americans will die for lack of access to healthcare under Obamacare between now and 2026. Because it isn't single-payer, because it isn't Medicare-for-all, because it isn't universal coverage.

Three hundred thousand deaths and countless bankruptcies under the plan liberals and progressives are fighting desperately to save. We should fight tooth and nail to save Obamacare, of course, and hopefully we will save it. But let's not kid ourselves. The ACA isn't as evil as the AHCA. But it's still evil and the fight doesn't end when we save Obamacare. It begins.
