Yes, THAT is a tabloid rag! How anybody can believe the BBC any more than they'd believe The National Enquirer is beyond me. No wonder there are so many stupid people in the world!
But they have those cool British accents, of course they are correct when they have a cool accent. :-)
The latest census bureau number of 46.6 million without insurance, and that was from 2005, a year in which there was a significant increase over previous years, which gives us five years of undocumented Americans who have lost their jobs (and of course their insurance) in the meantime. That would very easily swell the number to near 50-million. In addition, there are 5-million Americans living overseas, who mostly have no insurance that will cover them while abroad. That would bring the number to the 55-million neighborhood. Many of those Americans chose to live abroad precisely because they could not affort the cost of medical care or insurance stateside. Many of those are disgruntled Vietnam and Desert vets, who discovered when they got home that the VA reneged on agreements to provide medical care after discharge.
All of which is BS because Master Genius Omaha Rocks, sitting in his living room, securely insulated from the real world, says it is.

Aye. It's called the BBC English accent (unless it's in Scotland or Wales). Personally I prefer the less snooty BBC Scotland accents. I guess the fact they are respected around the world - except in Omaha - and have been around since 1922 is irrelevant. The BBC World Service is heard in 32 languages and has a weekly audience of 188 million people around the world. But, yea, Omaha says it's a rag so it must be.
BTW, the census bureau numbers are from 2007 and in case you haven't noticed many millions have lost jobs and health insurance in the last couple of years.
Now you're backpeddling and making up more ridiculous lies.
The BBC has proven itself to be a crap tabloid. The fact that - when presented with the raw numbers that PROVE that - you still cannot open your little mind to the truth is an indictment on you.
If the BBC told you that the moon was made of cheese, would you believe that too? Or that there's a giant statue of Elvis on Mars?

Actually, you need to get your information right. This, of course, isn't the first time that's the case.
That 46 million number was from 2007, not 2005.
In addition, the Census Bureau openly admitted that they added nearly 10 million to the actual 36 million just because they didn't know how many illegal immigrants might not have private health insurance.
But hey, it's okay. You've got your welfare checks rolling in. You're living off the public dole. There are 10 Americans working and paying taxes so that you can have free health care, be unemployed, and BS on the internet all day. What do you care? You aren't the one paying for anything. You're on the public dole. You HAVE to campaign for more government handouts!

Yea, right. What drugs do you take?
