There are many [1] many [2] many [3] many [4] many [5] many [6] many [7] examples of people who died as a result of our hospital systems being overloaded and being forced to ration care. This is what was meant by the geometric growth of hospital patients and how many hospital systems were close to outright breaking. You are ultimately factually wrong and extremely unaware of how much stress this put on our hospital systems and how many people died because of what you were suggesting. Now imagine how much worse it would've been if we did nothing.

- jakear 3y ago7 whole examples? Wow. And how many millions of children have ongoing severely stunted development in both academics and social skills? More than 7 million. By some estimates 77 million, in fact. The real question is how many more will die as a result of our horribly irresponsible treatment of our most valuable national resource: the children.
