   Actually not much of that. 80% of Americans are still insured
(more if you include those who qualify for Mcaid but haven't signed
up or have expired)> The number is even lower if you count only
those w/o insurance for more than 6 months (most of the 20% are
without insurance AT ANY TIME during the year, assuming you are
using the study cited most often).
