Ranks of Uninsured Rose 9.4% in 2009, Census Bureau Says
The number of people without health insurance rose about 9.4% to 50.7 million people in 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau reported. That represented 16.7% of the U.S. population in 2009 compared with 15.4% or 46.3 million people in 2008.
“This is the highest number of uninsured since 1987, the first year that comparable uninsured data was collected,” David Johnson, chief of the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division at the Census, said during a news conference to release the findings. The report contains national findings from the 2010 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement or CPS.

The New Healthcare Law Commences
Last week, as the consumer protections kick in, media reports revealed that some major insurers, at least in part, will sidestep one new provision: denying coverage for children under age 19 who have pre-existing medical conditions. Aside from the two children-related changes, other reform provisions rolling out include:
• Removing lifetime dollar limits on essential benefits
• Giving people a right to appeal to an external party if denied coverage for a treatment
• Preventing insurers from dropping coverage of people when they get sick
• Limiting the use of annual spending limits of health plans
• Allowing consumers to use ob-gyns in their networks without needing a referral
• Prohibiting extra charges for using emergency care that is out of network
• Guaranteeing full coverage of many preventive services, such as mammograms and colonoscopies, without a co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible

Huckabee: Health Law ‘Nice’ but Unaffordable
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee just questioned one of the most popular elements of the new healthcare law. The ban on insurance companies denying medical coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions “sounds terrific,” said Huckabee. But in a speech to the Values Voter Summit, he suggested it’s unaffordable.
Allowing people to buy health insurance after they are sick is like allowing people to buy insurance for their home the day after it burned down, or insurance for their car hours after a new driver totaled it, Huckabee argued.
Conservatives believe that the government is “not here to feed us… and certainly not here to bleed us,” Huckabee said.
