Democrats at the Feb. 25 health summit argued that under their proposal, 31 million of the 47 million uninsured Americans would receive coverage.
CNN’s “American Morning” co-host Kiran Chetry repeated that claim Feb. 26 and asked one of her guests: Kenneth Thorpe, Prof. at the Rollins School of Public Health, about its validity and the debate surrounding the statistic.

We face such an uphill battle on this as Dem Pols, MSM and Academics have no hesitation to use a lie to further their agenda
They change the number of uninsured everyday and it’s still a very small percentage of the population.
No, I believe that there are 47 or more millions of uninsured Americans. They are hardworking, taxpaying Americans who worked for their educations, worked for their jobs, worked and worked and worked and worked. They even got what some call ‘health insurance’. Only it really isn’t ‘insurance’ it is a ticket to condemnation and taxation by the rest of the sloths in this country via a corrupt government and taxation system. What good is a ‘health insurance’ plan if the government steals everything else you make to pay for the medical care costs of its constituent voting sloths.. In this regard, yes, I believe the goddam number - only not the way they wish me to.
Does anyone expect CNN to jump off the Obooboo train? They
have to feed their Obooboo following who are the only ones watching their silly shows on tee vee.
Since they know how many there are I would like to see the list of names and addresses
