Health Insurance Statistics: Every Sixth American Is Uninsured

We have written about healthcare statistics before - we spotted this today:

"The number of people who lacked health insurance last year climbed to 49.9 million, up from 49 million in 2009, the Census Bureau said Tuesday.

Nationwide, 16.3% of the population was uninsured last year, statistically unchanged from 2009."
