Stat of the day

Breaking down the 47 million in the U.S. without health insurance:
  • 9.5 million people are illegal aliens
  • 8.3 million uninsured people are those who make between $50,000 and $74,999 per year and choose not to purchase insurance
  • 8.7 million uninsured people are those who make over $75,000 a year and choose not to purchase insurance
Indeed, as Reason TV points out, the best way to cover the uninsured is have them go buy some. Be sure to read the whole post, that also looks at the role of the media.
