The US government's Centers for Disease Control have released data that show that the number of Americans living without health insurance jumped by two million people between 2005 and 2006. There are now approximately 43.6 million Americans, a number not far short of the population of England, uninsured.
I am sure that when questioned about this Tony Snow will reassure us that these 2 million folks are all taxpayers who have received so much benefit from the Bush tax cuts that they have decided that they are better off being self-insured now that they are living off the fat of the land. Alternatively we may find that the Wal-Mart payroll has gone up by 2 million year on year.
