A lot of Americans WITH money die. This scenario often painted of Americans lying outside hospital doors and dying on their doorsteps because they've been turned away, is a bit of a hyperbole. Yes, the question of adequate health care for low or no income citizens is a problem....it's a problem EVERYWHERE.....but the American system is no more or less devoid of it's moral imperative to care for it's citizens than any other country. There is no big bad group of people in this country who just want to see poor people die and go away.
There are genuine differences in ideas about the best way to get the best care to the most amount of people for the least amount of cost. People who oppose the Affordable Care Act are NOT uncaring monsters.....they are people with genuine concerns...and there are a LOT of them. History has shown us that giving everything to everyone simply doesn't work...conversely, relying solely on "the market" to take adequate care of everyone, is equally flawed because you just can't view people as "commodities". Statements like "yeah, it really sucks that you still die in America if you don't have enough money" may get you high fives as your next vegan lunch date, but it's somewhat petty and myopicw hen you consider the reality.
