"The report said 57 million to 59 million people, "about a quarter of the nonelderly population," lacked insurance at some time in 1998, the most recent year for which reliable comparative figures were available.

At the same time, the budget office said, government surveys suggest that the number of people uninsured for the entire year was 21 million to 31 million, or 9 percent to 13 percent of nonelderly Americans."

So that was 1998 figure. Needless to say, after 4-year stock market decline from 1999-2002, and 2+ millions of people out of work, that number will be revised upward by a larg margin.
