And change the subject as soon as possible to healthcare.

Heard today (radio) that when Clinton took office, 42 million people didn't have health care.

Today, there are 43 million people without health care.

That's 11 year. and only 1 million people more....

That's pretty remarkable if these numbers are true....with the greatest recession since the Great Depression, which GWB inherited....AND the 1,000,000 immigration goal of Clinton-Gore in each 1996, AND 2000....AND who knows how many illegal immigrants who have arrived here since 1993 when Clinton took over, and then GWB's term.......estimates show there are between 8 and 12 MILLION illegal immigrants in the US right now........

So all in all, if there is only one million more without health care in the last eleven years....it's progress considering how many companies have folded, and left people to their own devices.

Now, if GWB can get his small business large risk pool married to insurance companies like big business, government and labor unions....these numbers will come down for sure!

Does anyone have knowledge if the 42 million and 3 million numbers are correct?
