here are some facts about the uninsured (factcheck.org, non-partisan organization)
More than 80 percent are from families in which at least one person works (70 percent from families where at least one person works full-time, and an additional 12 percent from families with a part-time worker). Two thirds are near or below the poverty line, making less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Only a small number (20 percent) are children, but nearly half are below the age of 30. Non-Hispanic whites make up two thirds of the population but less than half of the uninsured, and they are also more likely than any other race to have private insurance. The Kaiser Family Foundation has released a report, incorporating 2007 Census data, that covers these and other characteristics of the uninsured.
cxxi121,why don't you and major dad and usmc go look up the definition of socialism and come back and talk to the rest of us when you're a bit more informed on exactly what socialism is.
and so what if it is 'socialism' (which it isn't); what's wrong with providing affordable healthcare to EVERYONE at an affordable price and to prevent insurance companies from their illegal and egregious acts of denying coverage?
just because someone works for a small company where healthcare isn't an option for the owner due to the cost; what is wrong with mandating insurance companies provide coverage at a reasonable cost.
heathcare insurance should be a right; not a privilege for a select few.
