The 50 million number is HIGHLY debateable. And, as most statistics, subject to a great deal of contextual explaination... How many of those people CHOOSE to not have insurance? I know I chose to not have any for a long time when I was younger. When I needed to go to the doctor, I paid for it. How many of those people are between jobs?

Those 50 million, DO have ACCESS to healthcare. Just not insurance. And isn't that what Medicare/Medicade is for?
