Health And Money - Government Bad News- Good News

Or I give you the good news first...

According to the AP story from the U.S. Census- the percentage of people (reporting to be) in poverty dropped from 12. 6% in 2005 to 12.3% in 2006 (didn't the around quarter-million Katrina-displaced/povertized Gulf residents count?).

OK - that was the "good" news.

The bad news is that now- according to America's Very Own Census bureau- the NUMBER OF AMERICANS WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE INCREASED- TO A STAGGERING 47 MILLION PEOPLE.


Imagine just ten percent of that number- 4.7 million people- marching on Washington and demanding change.

Speaking of change- gotta check under some sofa cushions- peace-out....
