How does one fix the problem of 45 million Americans not having health insurance?  Out of 300 plus million Americans, 45 million don't have health care. So the 255 million that do have Health Care must change over? I see this as a huge mistake. Check out the countries that currently have National Health Care...it isn't all it's cracked up to be. The free market must be allowed to continue. The Government is for oversight...not managing. The 45 million number is inflated as well. Many kids with undocumented parents are includeed in the stats. Stats can be manipulated easily, and I believe they have been manipulated here. |

The Census Bureau estimates that 45.7 million lacked health insurance at any given time in 2007. But fewer lacked coverage for the full year, and more did without for one or more months during the year. All three numbers are likely to be higher for 2008 due to massive job losses.

Stats can be manipulated easily, and I believe they have been manipulated here. Claim: Many of the uninsured are not U.S. citizens. Fact: About 9.7 million of the uninsured are immigrants, both legal and illegal. The National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation estimates that 5.6 million of these are undocumented, but there are no hard data on that – NIHCM stresses that "the CPS does not collect information on legal status among non-citizens." Immigrants, especially new immigrants, are more likely to be uninsured than citizens. They are also less likely than citizens to use expensive emergency care, according to research from the Kaiser Family Foundation. http://www.factcheck.org/politics/the_real_uninsured.html |
