The Sources of Insurance: Private, Public, the Uninsured, and Reforms for the Future
FreedomWorks has published Issue Analysis 126: The Sources of Insurance: Private, Public, the Uninsured, and Reforms for the Future. Key finding:
"According to the Census Bureau, there were 46 million uninsured Americans in 2007—about 15.3 percent of the population. The more relevant number for policy makers to consider is 16 million, or about 5 percent of the population.
"The difference between 16 million and 46 million: the millions of people who qualify for but do not take government insurance benefits already offered, the population making more than $50,000 a year who are uninsured, and uninsured non-citizens."
It also provides some historical background on health insurance in America and looks at from where we get our insurance.
