A HUGE percentage of these make or own too much to qualify for Medcaid, but can't afford health insurance We know the numbers; there really isn't any argument over how many or how huge the number is. There are approximately 14 Million of the 43 million so-called "uninsured" who qualify for Medicaid/SCHIP but have not bothered with it. About 1/3. About 1/3 of the 43 Million (little less, actually) have a problem that needs to be addressed. And about 1/3 are either illegals who American taxpayers should not be expected to pay for, OR they're easily able to pay for their own coverage and choose not to do so. I really don't want to argue this with you; you trying to discuss this with me is like me talking astronomy and physics with Stephen Hawking, if you get my drift.
