Bad news John: The 47 million uninsured figure includes 12.7 million illegal immigrants. The Center for Immigration Studies, a nonpartisan think tank that favors reduced illegal immigration but does not advocate mass deportations, estimates that since summer 2007 the illegal-immigrant population has dropped from 12.5 million -- its peak -- to 10.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. cis.org Now you will have to cut down your figure to 45 million. Posting of deliberate misinformation will be construed as off topic. Of course we all know that the real figure is 5 million Americans who can't get insurance, but you would be unlikely to ever discuss the core of the issue because it does not sound alarming to the uninformed.
