It's about 9k a day. That's just all deaths. Medically treatable and avoidable deaths is 624 a day. According to the only numbers I can find, but it's wonky, so I'll grant you it may not be precise, but it's probably a good ballpark number.

Even if it's one person a day that dies without necessity of a preventable and treatable cause that universal healthcare would have fixed, that's a lot of deaths. And it's more than one CEO who likely thought very seriously about the question ''is curing anyone a good business model?''
