And you can never know what a raw number of uninsured means without analyzing the uninsured. One subset of the uninsured that rarely gets a mention is the self-insured. I'd like to see catastrophic coverage policies, as Neo suggested, for those who want to self-insure on the everyday stuff. The ubiquity of blanket insurance is, in itself, part of the problem. FWIW, my primary care physician doesn't take insurance. I get wonderful service, never rushed, and it's not as costly as one might expect because her overhead and hassle-factors are lower than those who take insurance. Karen
