What if the figure were zero? Or twelve? Or minus 5000? If you can't validate a study or show that it demonstrates something relevant, why would you make a determination based on it? Does it not give you pause that one source comes up with 45 and another with 18? No, you conclude that it must be some big number and you don't care which one. Did you consider that if there's a 27K difference in one direction, that the 18K number might be 27K off in the other direction, which would be a negative number? Lane, I can't argue against innuendo...these organizations are highly respected and I have no reason to dismiss their findings...I can also see how the application of criteria can yield different results...also keep in mind that these studies were conducted years apart...I will say this...it's not difficult to envision how individuals without proper insurance or who are under-insured can become vulnerable to preventable diseases or detectable forms of cancer. Not hard at all to support that. Al
