New studies conducted by Families USA show that in the state of Washington, 1 person each day dies because he or she does not have health insurance to cover for him/her. That’s about 365 people a year—and that accounts for non-insured people alone. Due to the high costs of health insurance, a lot of people are being deprived of it. This is an issue that the state should look into since people are dying because something (health insurance in this case) wasn’t there to catch them the time they needed it most. And as the popular saying goes, “what a waste”.
