First...about time...second Thank You ..

And finally this does not support the statistics that both you and Oz provided.

From your link just two of the items that popped out. Either way

- as of 2007 there were only 62% of american's insured via private insurance.
- Nearly 40 percent of the uninsured population reside in households that earn $50,000 or more.1 A growing number of middle-income families cannot afford health insurance payments even when coverage is offered by their employers.

First off - you are welcome. BUT, as I, and others noted, it was there - all you had to do was "Google"

When you say "private insurance" - can you more clearly define that? Are you saying these are the ones, such as myself, who pay 100% of the premiums for our insurance? Or, are you including employer provided insurance?

Nope, this don't support your numbers either. The data as well as the references are from 1992-2005. Maybe your getting close to finding the one you've based the 90% insured numbers.

Not googled challenge at all. You can't find something that is not there. All of the links you've provided don't even MENTION or come close to the numbers that you and OZ provided. Your just too stubborn i guess to admit it.

So we should be looking for ways to lower health care costs, not coming up with a trillion dollar government plan, that does nothing to lower costs, it just absorbs them, and the taxpayer pay them.

My question to you yesterday was. What percentage of american's have private insurance. Your come back more than ONCE was 90%. You could not provide the link to back that up as well as your other statistical assertions. Don't try to flip the google thing around. I searched on the data you indicated witch was WRONG

Go searching now on your own - You said there was "nothing" on Google - you are / were wrong.

You can also search the CD Forums - as a number of people have provide links - I'm not going to do your work for you - if you want to be lazy - that is your problem - not mine.
