>> Read the excerpt. For one, the total numbers are much higher. The number of uninsured caused by the recession, but not job loss is around 7 million alone.

It is a moving target. But the fact remains that the number who are long-term uninsured because of not being able to afford it is quite small and the "50 Million" figure being bandied about by the administration is an unconscionable, massive overstatement of the problem designed to mislead.

If you want argue about hair-splitting, I'm not interested. The reality is the number is quite small. Probably < ~5%, which is what I said months ago.
