What I get from your post is that the evidence is anecdotal in nature and can not be compared to the over all harm or benefit to American citizens. It's a policy that when applied to a nation of 270 million individuals guarantees someone, somewhere, at some time, is going to get shat upon.

Your example doesn't apply as there is no willful disregard to the patient incorporated. A more fitting comparison would be that a surgeon will purposefully, with the government's blessing, without remorse, and while receiving remibursement for the murder kill 2 patients for every 290 he/she saves. Does that really sound appropriate to you?
