tw, Re: There are more than 30 million people in the USA without any coverage at all. Statistics lie, of course. A generally accepted figure is that over the course of a year's time, approximately 45 million U.S. citizens will be without medical insurance coverage for some period during the year. 30 million may be a "snapshot" figure on any one day. I haven't seen this figure used recently. What is clear is that the number of uninsured and underinsured individuals is on the rise in the U.S. with approximately 4 to 5 million more Americans falling into these categories since January, 2001.
