To the Editor:

Re " Study Raises Estimate of the Nation's Uninsured" (news article, March 5)::

When I read the report that nearly a third of the American population younger
than 65 were without health insurance at some time during the last two years,
I contemplated the awful predicament of my recently unemployed patient,
now uninsured and unable to obtain necessary tests and treatment for his heart disease.


This made me wonder: is the well-being of the American public threatened
more by the tyrant in the Middle East, or by our colossal failure to provide
our own people with health care?
