By every measure than some obscure Tim statistic. Simply not true. re: In any case many go without insurance by choice, not because it is unavailable to them. Typical elite. A few maybe Far more than a few. The authors also document that the much-bandied "crisis" numbers for the uninsured don't necessarily indicate widespread and continuous inability to afford insurance. One-third of America's uninsured live in households with more than $50,000 in yearly income. Only 2.5 percent of the uninsured remain so for more than three years straight. Almost half of the last eight years' growth in the uninsured has been in households earning more than $80,000 a year, while the uninsured rate among the poorest has been dropping. reason.com Adults’ Lack of a Usual Source of Care: A Matter of Preference?

Garrett, PhD1,4 annfammed.org Lack of Access to Health Care in America engram-backtalk.blogspot.com "If left free to choose, some people will decide not to buy insurance. The uninsured population is not uniformly poor or clamoring for health care. Nearly one in three lives in a household earning more than $50,000 a year. One in seven comes from a household earning more than $75,000. It's just that with total out-of-pocket health expenses averaging $242 a year, the high price of health insurance just doesn't seem like a good deal, and for many it isn't. It'll take much more than a media campaign to change that." reason.com Also check out health.gov.on.ca engram-backtalk.blogspot.com
