WASHINGTON - More than one-third of the U.S. population under the age of 65 went without health insurance for all or part of the last two years, a consumer group said on Thursday.

The nonprofit Families USA group used data from last month's U.S. Census Bureau report that found 47 million Americans went without health insurance for all of 2006.

Families USA broke down that figure and calculated that 89.6 million people under age 65 — 34.7 percent — went without health insurance at some point during 2006-2007. It used a projection for the remaining months of this year.

After age 65, Americans become eligible for Medicare, the state-federal health insurance plan for the elderly.

"The huge number of people without health coverage over the past two years helps to explain why health care has become the top domestic issue in the 2008 presidential campaign," Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, said in a statement.

"The expansion of health coverage in America is no longer simply a matter of altruism about other people but a matter of intense self-interest."

1. If you removed the medicaid covered

I would bet half of adults have been without insurance more than with it. They like for us all to feel alone, like we're the only ones.

They keep us in line with Shame. Shame Shame you aren't responsible enough to pay for your insurance, keep yourself healthy, live a perfect life. Shame and Humiliation.

2. This is the Biggest Crime in American History

and many are children

Jesus didn't ask for your HMO card
Jesus didn't say You can die cause you can't pay or your denied coverage
Jesus didn't say you have a preexisting disease Sorry can't do
Jesus didn't say First I have to get Permission from the Insurance company
Jesus didn't say you don't have Insurance Sorry

How Christian are these Christians???
