Orca is wrong. Of course 60% of Hispanic and 48% of African Americans are not without health insurance. I was actually was able to track down the source of this information. The actual claim is that during the two year period of 2002 and 2003, 60% (59.5) of Hispanic and 42.9% of African Americans (and one in three Americans - under 65), were without health insurance at some point (a month or more). So did the report actually measure the number of people without (for some period of time) health insurance in 2002 and 2003? No. Is the report accurate? I don't know, it depends on how accurate the projections used to calculate the numbers were. The group that wrote the report is a liberal group, but I have no reason to believe that their data is wrong.
