• 85% of Americans of all races under the age of 65 are covered by some type of health insurance during the year of 2006.
• Nationally there are less than three thousand people of a certain age that will not be covered by some type of health insurance.
"Beginning on September 23, all insurance plans will be offering young adults up to age 26 options for being covered under their parents plan." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/healthreform)
While there might be many people that are currently covered by various forms of medical care there are just as many if not more people that go everyday without health insurance for some reason or other. I was one of the people whose health insurance was cut off at 18 and for some reason or other am not covered by other insurances. Most likely because of pre existing conditions.Should those people who can not afford health care go without it simply because they cant afford it or are currently unemployed by the downward spiral the economy fell into. No. I have gone without medical insurance.
These numbers seem to be esily pulled from any census available or generally a survey. Honestly, it seems that if that is the case it most certainly is not very reliable.
