No Health Insurance Leads To Higher Death Risks

In a new study, researchers estimate that 45,000 deaths per year in U.S are associated with not having health insurance making the estimate appear in advance online edition of American Journal.

The Data came from about 9000 people aged 17 to 64 years who took part in government health survey between 1994 following though 2000. During this year’s about 3% of participants died leading to health insurance were the average amount was 40% more likely for people with health insurance regardless of factors like age, gender, race, income, education & health status.

The researchers then applied the finding to U.S data which calculated around 44,789 deaths among working age in 2005 associated with lack of insurance. The study at Cambridge Health Alliance which is associated with Harvard Medical School now works at University of Washington.

This team rules out the factors, making results rule out anywhere. This note has people without health insurance which make them achieve preventive care with a steady source of medical care which would be very much risky.
