The president's claim that there are 46 million uninsured Americans overshoots the Census Bureau's official estimate by about 10 million people. (Don't forget to vote)

2007 report issued in 2008. I wonder how many the job losses over the past year have added?

And a big hmmmm...

According to this US Census bureau website, table HIA1, almost 46 million people were without any coverage at all. You need excel to download and read it.

Yes, that was the figure thrown out, however, there was close to 10 million illegal immigrants that were placed into the figure. If we are to be concerned with the uninsured in America, shouldn't we be concerned with the legitimate citizens first?

No that number was all immigrants, both legal and illegal.

Sorry, if your question requires that voters read the comments, then when it goes to world vote on other websites people don't know what you are talking about. If people don't respond to a widget, the site manager sooner or later drops that widget. Making it hard to use the ask500 widget only hurts the site, so I marked this inappropriate.

Thank you. I was unaware of that issue. I am still learning or as translate would say "incompetent" I am having a hard time enlightening him to the fact that your only considered to be incompetent, if, you have been taught something and are still not able to do it after the instructions. I'll keep that in mind, "the world vote", for future questions.

Hell, no one else worry's about that---in your right wing terror group. LOL

Yes, but it's not a problem confined to Liberals.

It's a problem with all politicians, no matter what their views are.

Liberals don't overstate anything. They have to keep repeating the same thing to try and get others to understand even the simplest thing. Some people choose not to understand or listen and that is their problem. To bad they keep trying to pass it off as truth.
