Third Leading Cause of Death in the US

How protected are you from the third leading cause of death in the United States, as revealed by a 2000 article of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)?

Curious?

You might not believe it, but the third leading cause of death is the American health care system. Read the JAMA summary here, or the article here if you subscribe. There was a 2004 follow up that suggests the health care system may actually be the number one killer annually, in the United States.

So tell me, WHY do some fight for universal, tax-funded access to this system?! Let's fix it, first!!
