    This 16 million thing is really making the rounds. It’s not 16 million deaths. It’s 16 million requests for insurance to pay the bill being denied. Yes, it almost assuredly results in lowered quality of life and probably even shortens lifespan (I don’t know how dramatically), but 16 million dying on the regular would wipe out the population pretty quickly.
