The 47 million without insurance numbers has become nauseating. No one ever asks, of those people, who have declined their employers insurance coverage or simply don’t feel like they need it?
For example, my wife has excellent benefits at her job, so I don’t take my health insurance at my work. So am I counted amongst the 47 million?
How many represent the 30-40 million ILLEGAL alien invaders.
Quick answer: No. If your wife’s company would pay your medical bills, you are insured.
Among the 47 million without health insurance, however, are most illegal aliens, and even many of their “anchor baby” kids. That’s a quarter of the number right there.
And it is true that many young, healthy people skip insurance coverage, because it’s simply a bad bet. $600 a month for coverage ($7200 per year), because they’ve got to cover costs for all the smokers and gays and gluttons?
