How many uninsured in the US?
Posted by admin
Sometimes I post something just in case I forget where I read it. Hotair crunches the numbers using a 2007 Census Report. It’s worth analyzing the number ‘47 million’ of uninsured in the United States. Well, if you eliminate the illegals (9.4m) and people making over $50k (17m who choose not to buy insurance), the number is considerably less than 47 million. The liberal Kaiser Family Foundation puts the number of uninsured Americans who don’t qualify for government programs and make less than $50,000 a year between 8.2 million and 13.9 million.
