RE: the article not being "intellectually gratifying".
The situation sounds enormously distressing but the author's writing style isn't overwrought at all.
Even on a purely intellectual level, this is a devastating rebuttal of the point that "nobody dies from lack of health insurance". On the level of common decency, what is wrong with treating the people in the story as regular human beings with social ties, rather than some sort of people in the abstract?
