...nearly 5 million adult Americans lost they're health insurance since September. Sam Stein reports on the survey.

[sixteen] percent of Americans over the age of 18 are currently without health insurance. That number reflects what the survey's authors describe as a "small but measurable uptick in the percentage of uninsured adults."

Indeed, the average number of uninsured adults recorded by Gallup in 2008 was 14.8 percent. In September 2008, the monthly total recorded was at a yearly low of 13.9 percent.

While the difference in percentage may seem small, the aggregate number of additional uninsured is vast.

According to 2007 U.S. Census data, the population of those 18 years or older stood at 228,196,823. By using that figure, in September of 2008, the number of uninsured adults would have totaled approximately 31.7 million. Today, the figure stands at 36.5 million -- meaning that 4.8 million adults have, in less than a year, lost their insurance coverage.

wonder how many of the top group are people born here of a non USC?

Steven ...since you are the OP ... can you provide the details?

Gary -

Say you make $50000 a year but your employer doesn't offer health insurance (not all employers do you know). If you had to insure your family privately, it would probably cost around $1200 a month. That's $14,400 per year - nearly 30% of your gross wages.

The 20-somethings in the article are 'aged out' children - kids out of college who no longer qualify to be on their parents coverage because they are done with their schooling but have not yet found work with benefits. Such young adults are estimated to be ONE in THREE.

I'm sorry, but you need to comprehend the depth and berevity of this problem. We are the only modern nation on earth that does not provide for the health and well being of it's population. We spend more dollars on national defense than any other country on earth. Take a lot at those two things and tell me - why do we do it?

Thats BS RJ. I made way less than $50K and could get insurance for about $300/month at one point in my life. That is even for the family plan. Sure it didn't cover routine medical care but if someone got hurt or had to go into the hospital it paid for everything. I assume you want everyone to have Cadilac insurance that pays for everything. Some people don't need that or want that.

Because there are people who need health and life insurance. And, then, there are those who don't.

Saying a person doesn't need health insurance just because they have sooooooooooo much cash that they could pay for anything is as financially irresponsible as betting your fortune at the horse track.

The truly rich take steps to stay that way. Blowing a few hundred a year on catastrophic health cover would be a no-brainer for a real millionaire.

I wasn't aware that you are more familiar with what I need to do to preserve and increase my financial stabilty. There are a lot of fewer millionares since Madoff went under. Not all rich people are smart about money, btw.

Yeah. And you just proved it.

If you're so smart about money, rj,and think you know better, why don't you have any? You don't see me on here whining for handouts from other taxpayers like you do. It would be best if you'd try to stick to things you know something about, cause capital and increasing wealth aren't among them.

Gary I already chased her off! Shes in the corner with a paint brush!

[Sofiyya 1,687]

My assets are protected, thank you. I don't need medical insurance. If premiums are so low, why all the whining about the urgency for universal health care?

Please quote what I said. Catastrophic premiums are low. Please don't twist the logic here, tempting though it might be for you.

Have I said anything to you that justifies your condescending tome toward me, RJ? If I don't NEED catastropic coverage, and get a better deal paying cash, it is a waste of money to pay for it. It's as simple as that.

I'm not being condescending. I'm saying you misquoted me AND I'm saying it's a poor financial decision if you decide to not carry catastrophic coverage if you can afford it.

It's as simple as that.

What's simplistic is your thinking.

You might have well been able to cover your family for $300 bucks several years ago.

We just got a COBRA quote for over $900 for just the two of us.

Things have changed.

And please don't put words in my mouth about wanting people to have Cadillacs and the like. That's immature.
