The Problem
Nearly 46 million Americans, including more than 8 million children, are living without health insurance— forced to gamble every day that they won't get sick or injured. That's a risk no one should have to take. Uninsured Americans live sicker and die younger than those with health insurance. Just one serious illness or injury can wipe out an uninsured family's bank account, and the problem is getting worse.

Cover the Uninsured Week 2006 will create a groundswell of activities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including press conferences, health and enrollment fairs, seminars for small businesses, campus activities, business leader summits, interfaith outreach, and more. These activities are designed to mobilize a diverse mix of business owners, union members, educators, students, patients, hospital staff, physicians, nurses, faith leaders and their congregants, and many others at thousands of events across the country.

1. I've been uninsured and uninsurable since 1987

I think I will probably die uninsured of something treatable.

2. I'm sorry

:( NO one should be in that position in a country as wealthy as the USA.

3. amazingly, or not, repubs will spout off about that 1million S1955

helps trying to convince America that their great people for screwing 200+ million people and ignoring 45 million to help 1 million, who really aren't getting the insurance they should be given. All so their good business buddies get the $100million + revenue. The 45 million who still get nothing, and the 200+ million who get stripped of coverages aren't in good with Bush and his evangelican intolerant supporters(look at who has supported Enzi via his voting record it s the far far right and trade groups behind this bill). Health Insurancxe for the connected only, others need not apply.
