"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the legislation awaiting the president's approval would extend coverage to 32 million Americans who lack it, ban insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions and cut deficits by an estimated $138 billion over a decade. If realized, the expansion of coverage would include 95 percent of all eligible individuals under age 65. " healthplans.hcpro.com "The number of uninsured Americans would be reduced by 30 million, or 56%, by 2019 under President Obama's health reform plan, about the same as in the Senate and House versions of health reform proposals, according to a new study released by RAND Health. Also under the President's plan, which was released Monday, the number of non-elderly people with employer-sponsored plans would go from 156 million to 162 million, and the number of insured through Medicaid or State Children's Health Insurance Programs would go from 38 million to 50 million. The number enrolled in an exchange or non-group plan would rise significantly—from 17 million to 29 million, somewhat similar to the Senate and House plans. The findings were generated using a micro-simulation model created through RAND COMPARE, the company's project that provides health reform proposal comparisons." medscape.com "Census Bureau: Number of U.S. Uninsured Rises to 47 Million Americans are Uninsured: Almost 5 Percent Increase Since 2005"
