12. I wonder what the numbers are: insured and denied care vs. uninsured

more Americans are insured, but most insurance companies fight us tooth and nail when we make a claim. Maher seemed to be suggesting that around 20k insured Americans were killed because insurance companies denied their claims; that seems like premeditated murder to me. Thing is, I don't recall everyone living in fear of having to file a claim when I was younger-at least not to the degree that we do today. Did it all change, as Maher suggests, when Ronald Reagan and Gorden Gekko told us that "greed is good"?
