How Many Deaths are Due to No Health Insurance?

Liberals often mention the high death count due to uninsured patients being refused treatment by doctors and hospitals. How many deaths have occurred because the patient didn't have health insurance? Also, how many patients are refused treatment by doctors and hospitals and later die as a result?
--------------------
No one has any exact figures. While the US system will not deny emergency care, it does little to prevent emergencies for those without insurance. But the facts on the reforms are simple. FACT - Insurance companies in the USA admit to pushing up prices, buying politicians and not paying out claims when they should [1] FACT - PER PERSON the USA spends more on healthcare than any other nation on the planet [2] FACT - Obama debated his plans before the election for healthcare [3] FACT - the chance of a child under five of dying in the USA is greater than industrialised nations with universal health coverage [4] FACT - Obama was elected to bring in change [5] FACT - Obama wants to stop insurance companies from screwing America [6] FACT - The reforms Obama wants work in the Netherlands and Switzerland [7] Let me know if my facts are wrong, but please provide proof.
