Americans Could Use a Database of Mortalities Caused by Callous Health Insurance Company Policies

Like the excellent Gun Violence Archive which details gun deaths throughout the US, Americans could use a national database of deaths caused by inhuman health insurance policies, like those perpetrated by United HealthCare.

You can see how https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ efficiently records gun violence daily in every state.

The closest I came across in my research is the US Mortality Database at https://usa.mortality.org/.

But those researchers do not disclose denied treatment by a health insurance company.

A sample entry for the potential (and massive) database of health insurance corporate cruelty could look like this:

Incident 7598 / Patient aged 85 denied insulin / UHC / Physician's Hospital, NYC / 18 Nov 2024 / Premiums paid to company over time: $6,467.00 / Result: Death within 72 hours / Medical Bankruptcy: Yes/No

Incident 7599 / Patient aged 27 denied blood medication / Blue Cross & Blue Shield / Kansas Hospital, KS / 12 Dec 2024 / Premiums Paid to Company over time: $2,228 / Result: Patient left with $8,000 monthly bill / Medical Bankruptcy: YES

This would be a tremendous undertaking and I imagine each state in America would have scores, if not hundreds, of entries per day.
