No doubt 11 million have lost their jobs and no longer have insurance since the last report came out.
Stuck on Stupid(ly) ?

So far....everything he has said is false. Including what he hasn’t said about his citizenship.
Please! He’s a community organizer and can’t be bothered by details.
Another discrepancy I hear thrown around is at any instant in time only about 1/2 that number don’t have insurance. The census number is people that don’t have insurance for 3 or more months of the year or something.. So the 36ish million is people that don’t have insurance for part of 2007 or 2008.
To be correct he should say about 18-20M Americans don’t have insurance today.
Supposedly they were picking up ELEVEN MILLION uninsured children (moving from the uninsured to insured counts) in April when the new cigarette taxes went into effect, but the 47 million number was never adjusted after that.
How did the idiot think that happened? Jobs are being shipped overseas because of all the freakin’ lawsuits, AA, and other social experiments.
39 million. Say there really are 47 million. 7 million are young adult wage earners who have no need for it. At LEAST 12 million (and more like 20 million) are illegal immigrants. They should not get free coverage at all.
At any given time, there are probably 10 million who are between jobs. So what are we really doing here? That number drops more and more when you scrutinize. Here’s a novel approach: Let those without coverage receive a temporary Medicare card. Pay for the additional coverage out of the unused Bailout money — after all, they have only spent 10% of it so far.
The number will rise to about 200 million un-insured, once Socialized Medicine is passed, and after ACORN massages the Census numbers.
I guess that is why Obama wants to turn the census over to ACORN.
There are NO uninsured people in this country. Those who don’t have PRIVATE insurance can go to any emergency room and receive instant care, courtesy of the tax payer.
We have the best health insurance in the world, and the Big 0 wants to ration it.
What people should know is that according to the census bureau there are over 36 billion people age 65 or over. Obama wants to kill them off with rationing.
The Census Bureau says that there are only 35.92 million uninsured Americans and that this number includes 9.1 million people who earn more than $75,000 a year and simply choose not to purchase insurance.It also includes the people who have no private insurance, but are eligible for various other existing government programs. And of course, philathropists like George Soros and Ted Kennedy are glad to pick up the tabs for the needy (just not with their own money). Thanks Ernest.
