You can get all the info from
census.gov
The census Bureau reported that 45 million Americans lacked health insurance in 2003, up by 1.4 million from 2002 and 5.2 million from 2000. The report states that this increase is "statistically significant."
45 million uninsured Americans is nearly 12 times more than the number of millionaires (3.8 million).
To get another perspective, imagine ALL the people in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming having no health insurance. That is how large a number 45 million is. |
