Not only is it a lie, it is irrelevant!
How millions have bad or no housing? Give them all Gummit-paid housing! How many don’t have vehicles? Give them all Gummit-paid cars!

The real number of Uninsured is really only about EIGHT to TEN MILLION!!The DEMORATS are LIEING!! and 85 % of AMERICANS are Very Happy with their Healthcare according to most POLLS!! Leave Our Healthcare alone and throw the RATS out of AMERICA!! Let them move back to Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Libya or any other Communist Mecca!
The key word is "Americans".....the 47 million INCLUDES 30 million illegals/squatters/inter-lopers, and the other half are those who are 4th generation welfare, or CHOOSE to roll the dice and keep the money (OBAMA-MONEY to the rescue when they just go to the Emergency Rooms).
obama gonna pay my mortgage... Ah, memories...
Otama is suppose to git me free healthcare and pay off my charge cards.
Statistical lies are often off by a factor of 10.
