Health care experts are divided over whether universal health insurance would prevent deaths in the United States.
In 2002, the influential Institute of Medicine estimated universal coverage would save the lives of 18-thousand adults per year.
An updated assessment in 2006 bumped that figure up to 22,000.
However, a former health care adviser to President Clinton now says those predictions are extremely optimistic.
He found that after accounting for factors like income and health status, insurance made almost no difference in the mortality rate for people between 18 and 64-years-old.
According to Kronick's analysis, which appears online in the journal "Health Services Research," only nine-thousand lives would actually be saved if every American had insurance.
And that's a best case scenario.
Kronick says he wouldn't be surprised if the mortality rate in the U.S. didn't change at all with universal health insurance.
