I don't know the source of his data about illegal immigrants and insurance, but you don't have any data to contradict it. Also both Morris and Makiw made other points besides illegals. "another third are eligible for Medicaid right now and just don't apply for it" "In addition, I would exclude those who were offered employer-provided health insurance but declined coverage, and those that are healthy and making more than, say, $50,000 a year. These two groups are choosing to roll the dice. According to estimates I have seen, they make up more than a quarter of the uninsured.*" Also another interesting point is that the percentage of children who are not covered by health insurance has strongly declined.
