Political parties, health care, immaturity, ahhh!?

I think you're being a little over dramatic with your 47 million are dying because of it, but I agree that 47 million uninsured is a tragedy. The reason is because there are two drastically differant ideas on how to fix healthcare. The lefts ideas are for more government intervention and posibbly a government insurance option. The right wants government to get out of the way and repeal regulations on insurance companies which are part of the reason that costs are so high. These ideas are on opposite ends of the spectrum. For a healthcare fix to happen quickly one side would have to just give in.
