This is from the Urban Institute, a liberal think tank:

As Swartz, et al., (1993 (B)) have shown, 48 percent of periods of uninsurance end within 5 months, while 19 percent last beyond 2 years. The median length of a spell is approximately 7 months. Consequently, the length of most spells of uninsurance are fairly short (less than a year), meaning that many more people are likely to experience some period of uninsurance than is indicated by an estimate of full year uninsured.

Thus, about one fifth, or roughly 7 to 8 million, are chronically uninsured, using the papers estimates.......
