The common myth there are 46 to 50 million uninsured was ONE of the major reasons Obamacare was passed, i.e. uninformed voters thought they were helping 46 million uninsured!
The Census Bureau's own numbers show 15.5 million are uninsured.
198.4 million covered under private insurance
96.1 million covered by government, Medicare/Medicaid..
294.5 million people covered.
310.0 million Americans minus
294.5 million with insurance leaves
15.5 million uninsured.
And did you know that of those "uninsured" 5.4 million kids that ONLY need to register.
So that truly leaves only 10.1 million TRULY uninsured and NOT the myth of 50 million uninsured used to pass Obamacare!
Your figures are wrong, off by 400% at least; and, as well, you endorse the government insuring those who can't afford private insurance. You must be a lying liberal.
