88% of the uninsured were not born in the US !
Most of the children are eligible for Medicaid but the government has done a bad job in getting the info out.
About 85% of all americans are insured ! Used the Pop of 305 million and the sites estimate of almost 45 million uninsured.
Just these three things tell me that this needs some discussion ! Assuming I read the site correctly and did my math correctly.
This is not being unsympathetic...I am FOR health care, but now I am sure we are moving much too fast on this huge amount of money !
PS...Please check my math everybody !!
