When our government says that everyone has to sacrifice, but they're not willing to, something is wrong. Our government needs to stop worrying about growing itself, and start figuring out how to grow our economy and create jobs first.

How Many Americans Are Uninsured?

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) estimated that the percentage of uninsured Americans under age 65 represented 27 percent of the population. According to the MEPS data, nearly 54 million Americans under the age of 65 were uninsured in the first-half of 2007.

Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year — one every 12 minutes — in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday.

"We're losing more Americans every day because of inaction ... than drunk driving and homicide combined," Dr. David Himmelstein, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, said in an interview with Reuters.

Everybody has to give huh, I'd like to give you and all your cronies a pink slip.

Notice he never does bother to inform us as to what -his- skin in this game supposed to be.

You know Mr. President....I can sacrifice day in and day out...but only of my own accord, by my own sense of what is worth that sacrifice in the first place. I don't take kindly to being told where, what, when and why I'm supposed to "accept sacrifice" from the same class of humanity hell bent on never letting a drop of their power go, for fear of a populace emerging that doesn't need them anymore.

"In summary," CBO said "the premiums for policies sold in the proposed insurance exchanges would differ from the premiums that would be paid under current law for a variety of reasons—some of which would tend to make exchange premiums higher than current-law premiums and some of which would tend to make them lower.

CBO didnt find that the decreased penalty had much of an effect on getting people to sign up for health insurance. It estimated that the bill would lead to 94 percent of nonelderly Americans having insurance, the same figure CBO gave for the earlier version of the bill. But it also hasnt examined all of the factors influencing premium costs and says that quantifying a net effect is difficult.

MIT economist and health care expert Jonathan Gruber released his analysis of the impact on premiums in the individual market, finding the opposite of the industry-funded report: Gruber says premiums in the individual market would go down. He examined the effect of the bill on people of different ages, estimating that a 25-year-old could save from $230 to $685 in 2016 on average, a 60-year-old could save $2,800 to $7,890, and a family of four could save $2,430 to $8,550

This episode reminds us of another industry-backed report on premiums that we debunked earlier this year. It was based (loosely) on the House health care bill, as introduced, but didnt factor in subsidies and other aspects of the legislation. Independent reports by the Commonwealth Fund and the Lewin Group, meanwhile, found that costs would go down on average.

Too much skin in the game:

A Price Waterhouse Audit concludes that the Senate finance committee health care bill will increase average family health insurance premiums $4,000 annually.
