About One in Six U.S. Adults Are Without Health Insurance



Quote:
At 41.5%, Hispanic Americans are, by a significant margin, the demographic segment of the adult population most likely to be uninsured.
A question; Are those illegals?

Quote:
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index finds that while a large majority of Americans have health insurance, one in six in this country is without coverage.
Considering about 70-80% are satisfied with their HC, WTF are we trying to do here?

I've never said anything about free. I'm 52 years old, not a kid and never received anything for free. The health insurance industry pays out between 5-12% of all moneys collected per year in claims. You figure it out. I'm sure you'll blab on about their overhead etc. If you believe that 3% profit margin, then you have no credibility on the subject. The insurance business is a scam and always was. They do nothing, create nothing. It's all to do about volume of cash in relation to risk, nothing more nothing less. Unless of course they start interfering with your care, doctors, and your bank account. Get a clue.

i can't imagine seniors being on board with the new health care plan when they have to undergo MANDATORY end of life counseling. that is just creepy! i suppose they want the seniors eager to go so they can finance all of the illegal immigrants who will be on this plan! people should be outraged by these new rules. it is just big government in your face and your wallet!

There is about 10 million of the supposed 45 million that are illegals, notice they don't say "Americans".

And about another 9 million come from people who make 75K a year or more.

75% of the big number are without insurance for less than a year.

Add it all up and we are really only talking about 25 million and that my friend is what the gubmint wants us to pay $1.5 trillion dollars for. Oh, and we get to have them ration our care to boot.

You know I am opposed to the current proposal, however....this could just involve making sure something like a living will is made out .
Not knowing what it means is the problem though.
These things need to be made clear.

You won't need a living will when Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are put in charge of your health care.
