This forty million without health insurance in 2010....is a myth piece.
It’s a fairly wide group. You had some folks who were in the 18 to 30 age group....good health...seeing no reason to spend money on health care. You had another group who had serious long-term health issues, and would never be able to afford insurance. You had some folks who believed in a cash-situation (lot of farmers fit into that deal). Throw in the Amish crowd (270,000).

Illegals may be close to the 40 million number. Politicians have been claiming the number of illegals in the country is 11 million at least back to the Bush administration. We know about 2 million illegals sneak into the country each year or overstay their visas. In the 16 years of Bush and Obama the illegal population likely increase by 36 million. Add to that number the millions of “refugees” resettled by the government and put into the social safety net and you easily have 40 million “uninsured”.
