Kennedy on the Rise in Uninsured Americans and More Economy Blues…
August 30th, 2006 @ 10:42 pm

In my post below about the economy, I noted that there has been a rise in uninsured Americans under BushCo. The newly released Census Bureau statistics show that the number of uninsured Americans was record “46.6 million in 2005 demonstrating a 15.9% increase in those without health coverage.”

Below is a statement from Senator Kennedy’s on the rise in uninsured Americans:

“On the uninsured, as in so many areas, the Bush Administration and its Republican allies in Congress are long on talk and short on action. Under this Administration, over six million Americans have lost their health insurance — and millions more have been forced to pay more and more for less and less coverage. The new census report is a clear call for change.”
