Uninsured in America

This is an interesting video about who the 45 million uninsured are in the US.

I think the most interesting point of the video is that many who are elligible for various government programs do not sign up because they don't see the need to - they can just show up at the hospital and get free care. If we want these people to reap the benefits of preventative medicine, I guess we'll have to force them to get their yearly checkup.

I pointed out similar figures a few weeks ago on my blog: http://glock21.blogspot.com/2007/06/who-are-uninsured.html

 

Although this video covered a bit wider range of information.
