在美国Census Bureau 最新的报告《Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2005》中,第25页Children’s Health Insurance Coverage一段中提到:
“Children in poverty were more likely to be uninsured
than the population of all children in 2005—19.0 percent compared with 11.2 percent (Figure 8).”
第21页写道:
”With an uninsured rate at 19.0 percent in
2005, children in poverty were more likely to be uninsured than all children (Figure 8).“
另外,收入与医保覆盖率的问题在第24页Economic Status一段中写道:
”The likelihood of being covered by health insurance rises with income. In 2005, in households with annual
incomes of less than $25,000, 75.6 percent of people had health insurance. Health insurance coverage rates increased with higher household income levels to 91.5 percent for those in households with incomes of $75,000 or more (Table 8)“
我想美国穷孩子都有医保的谎言可以休矣
