I believe it is this one:

The number appears to be a comparison is the years of life added under a single payer system vs the current system primarily due to the expansion of health coverage of the uninsured.
It has no discussion of the insurance companies affects of denying care. So using this metric and attributing the deaths of these theoretical people. Instead these deaths are at the feet of congress who refuse to provide healthcare.
We should better source tweets.
