re: If I lived in Florida, especially if I ran a newspaper, I'd investigate why the rate of uninsured is higher there than in the nation as a whole. Since I live in FL I can clue you in if you are interested. Sure. "Includes resident non-citizens" - can you quantify that number? 9.487 million. "Counts... without insurance at some time during the year" I have to admit I got this backwards. According to the Census Bureau report: census.gov People were considered "insured" if they were covered by any type of insurance for part or all of the previous calendar year. They were considered "uninsured" if they were not covered by any type of health insurance at any time in that year. "Many of whom are already qualified for a government program but haven't applied" - Do you have any idea how hard it is to get into a government program? Presumably you're not now making the argument that government programs don't work. For me, the point is that people already qualified for Medicaid and SCHIP but not enrolled are being counted among the 47 million.
