Flogging Sully asked you to back up your claims with something, and you basically just repeat what you said before. But maybe you dont' have your sources at hand. The, "they will be insured in 4 mos" argument is misleading. In the meantime, someone else will be uninsured. The "they chose not to be insured, or didn't apply for benefits" argument is misleading because even 18-24 year olds can have an accident at any time. These sound like the sorts of arguments I would expect to hear from, say, the Heritage Foundation. A sound survey will take a snapshot picture, which I assume the cdc did. I've been hearing basically the same numbers for about 15 years and never, ever have I heard of the uninsured figure being below 10%. Also, 42 million is a national figure, not a state figure. State surveys would be only relevant to that state.
