The problem MM is pointing out is that it's not just the uninsured who die. It's the underinsured who in many cases thought they had all the insurance they would ever need.

Whoever it was who pointed out that CNN and other news organizations have a conflict of interest due to corporate sponsorships, you're exactly right. At one time news divisions were excluded from the profit machine. They weren't expected and weren't asked to make a dime in order to prevent just such a situation as we have today. That system was preferable to our current one, I believe...
