What they fail to mention is that the number '50 million' is a guess. It is not known how many citizens are without health insurance and a huge portion of that estimated 50 million are illegal immigrants.


>Lawmakers have unveiled a bill to cover nearly all 50 million uninsured Americans. Parts of the bill would impose responsibilities on individuals and their employers. It would end insurance company methods that deny coverage to the sick. How it will be financed is not mentioned in the bill which should be on the floor by July 31, 2009. This little item should start a nice thread.
