So it's really not 2% of America that's uninsured?
And lol to the illegal aliens comment.

The Census Bureau is the one to compile the numbers. It's based off residents, not citizenship. The Census doesn't give a shit on citizenship of who lives in a house, just that people live in a house. So yes, the uninsured numbers include illegal aliens.
Example...
Census worker A knocks on Door and fills out form for 6 people living in the house. No where on form does it ask if you are a citizen of the US, and in fact, even if it DID, there is no legal requirement to answer. Not that an illegal alien would answer truthfully.
Specifically...
If the Number of Illegals are anywhere from 11.7-20 million, depending on who is saying it or why they are saying it. Even using the Low number.. 11.7 that's still possibly 1/4th of the total uninsured.Quote:
Some objected to the counting of persons who are in the United States illegally.[28][29] Republican senators David Vitter and Bob Bennett tried unsuccessfully to add questions on immigration status to the census form.

So yeah, not really an LOL comment I made.
As for Obamacare... they announced today that they expect the Website to be able to handle 50k people come Dec 1st. if that equates to their 80% effectiveness they were hoping for... that's one crappy website.
Also.. Small business exchange was delayed 1 year now as well, by fiat of the President. Got to love a guy that likes his law SOOOOOO much, that he keeps delaying it on his own.
