One third of Americans were without health insurance in last 2 years
Nearly 82 million Americans under the age of 65 (one third of all the people in this age group) were without health insurance at some point in the last two years. More than two-thirds lacked cover for more than 6 months; more than half were uninsured for more than 9 months.
One quarter of those affected came from the middle class – families with incomes between $56,000 and $75,000. I don’t know about you, but I find it pretty staggering that is the case in the world’s richest nation.
