Health insurance

Facts: The policy problem of the health uninsured isn't as large as election-year opportunists made it. Census reports that 254,000,000 (85% of all Americans) Americans have health insurance coverage. The number without insurance improved to 45.7 million people, or 15% of the population, from 47 million in 2006. About 54% of uninsured are aged 18 to 34, and many of them voluntarily choose to forgo health coverage.
