47 million uninsured

November 5, 2007

A critical look at this oft-quoted number:

If 10 million of the disingenuous “47 million uninsured” are in fact illegal immigrants, are we to understand that all of these candidates are actually calling for nationalized health care coverage for illegal immigrants? Perhaps, in our beneficence, we should pay for healthcare for anyone worldwide who comes to our country. If this is what is being suggested in using these numbers, perhaps it needs to be on the table.
