Here's another question for you...what does under-insured mean? There are a lot of folks that carry a policy with a huge decuctable which only covers a catastrophic illness or accident. They get no regular doctor visit with that kind of coverage. So even the insured come in different degrees of protection. My comment a few posts back where I mentioned "half the people" was not meant as 50%. I was meant as many people do not have insurance, or inadequate insurance. You are the one that is trying to nail that number to the cross. But what you have failed to demonstrate in any way shape of form that the current system works well. It doesn't. We're down with Slovenia in life expectancy, 27th or 28th place...I forget. And 37th according to the WHO in health care delivery. And people who go bankrupt due to an illness or health problem is on the rise. While high paying jobs that have health care benefits are going down. If we stay this course it will be bad for the nation. That's why we need to replace Bush. Orca
