Despite Slight Drop in Uninsured, Last Year's Figure Points to 48,000 Preventable Deaths
Physicians for a National Health Program [PNHP] 
Sept. 12, 2012

The estimated death toll is based on a peer-reviewed Harvard study published in the American Journal of Public Health in 2009, widely cited during the health reform debate, which found that for every 1 million persons who were uninsured there were about 1,000 related, preventable deaths."
