you wrote:"Fact: Anyone who reports that there are more than 46 million uninsured is exaggerating since the Census Census Bureau puts the number of uninsured at 45,657,000 people puts the number of uninsured at 45,657,000 people."
Where did you get that number?
Per the U.S. Census Bureau and please I ask all of you go to this site and VERIFY!!!
Newsroom: Income & Wealth: Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2010
The Census Bureau's own numbers show 15.5 million are uninsured.
The Census there are 198.4 million covered under private insurance
The Census says 96.1 million covered by government, Medicare/Medicaid..
Added together equals =294.5 million people covered.
How many American citizens counted recently?310.0 million Americans
Subtracting Americans that are insured -294.5 million with insurance
Leaves a total of 15.5 million uninsured.
Not 46 million! Not 50 million!
Then again why are we counting 5.4 million kids that for ALL they have to do is have their parents register.. no money. NO costs.. REGISTER they are covered!
That leaves 10 million "uninsured".. BUT WAIT...
The same Census says 9.9 million people who said they "weren't insured" ARE NOT AMERICANS!!!
How complicated is that simple arithmetic..
You are just plain full-of-shit!
The US Census Bureau puts the number of uninsured at 46.3 million people in 2008. That represented 15.4% of the population. You seemed to have taken the 15.4 percentage number and used it for the total uninsured!
