There are 59 skulls in this image
Apparently, according to Harvard Medical School, 45,000 Americans die a year due to lack of Universal Healthcare. That's 58 times the number of people who die yearly due to terrorism, at least according to the US Department of State (although we're not entirely sure what they class as 'terrorism').

I blogged this picture. http://jewishatheist.blogspot.com/2010/01/why-we-need-health-care-reform.html
You ought to change "invade a hospital" to "invade a health insurance company"; it is because people can't afford the exorbitant cost of insurance that they can't get hospital care to begin with.
I put a link to this picture and the article from FastCompany on my Facebook page, it has stimulated an ongoing and heated discussion about health care.
Good work!
thanks sueneu!
Also blogged at Wise Law Blog. Excellent.
Jake, I did a further investigation of the department of state numbers at the Innocent Smith Journal (while sparing you further critique):

Here you go ;)
