Number Without Health Insurance at 46.3 Million

Thursday, September 10, 2009 10:40 AM


WASHINGTON -- The Census Bureau reports that the number of people lacking health insurance rose to 46.3 million in 2008.


That's up from 45.7 million in 2007, due to a continuing erosion of employer-provided insurance. Still, the level remained just below the peak of 47 million who were uninsured in 2006, because of the growth of government insurance programs such as Medicaid for the poor.


The nation's poverty rate increased to 13.2 percent, up from the 12.5 percent in 2007. That meant there were 39.8 million people living in poverty. It was the highest rate since 1997.


The statistics released Thursday cover the first full year of the current recession.


The median _ or midpoint _ household income declined slightly to $50,303.

Was he lying then, or is he lying now? Unless it's improved that much since a month ago.

17 million fewer uninsured -- in a month?

Great catch by Don Stewart/Josh Holmes in Mitch McConnell's office:

Obama's speech tonight: "There are now more than thirty million American citizens who cannot get coverage.”

Obama presser, Guadalajara, Mexico, 8/10/09: “We've got 46-47 million people without health insurance in our country.”

"illegals" won't be illegal by 2013, when the Health Care bill takes affect.

that's what Amnesty is for.

During the 2010 census, ACORN will help register the Illegals for voting purposes, amnesty and Health Care

No matter how many times OT is corrected he never gets it. I have never seen one person I can remember say Bush was great! I do remember many of us complaining about him eve remember Mike asking for him to be impeached.

OT will never understand a true conservative is not bias he believes in Conservative values not Republican talking points! This is what separates's us from the rest of the Kool aid drinkers like himself!

I think Bush was a terrible President overall! But I think he did a good job fighting Terrorism and keeping our nation safe in a time that this was the main issue at hand! For that one area I am pleased with his service, most other areas He gets a flunking grade from me!
