who needs health insurance?

[Jim Westrich]

Self-employed population is older than wage/salary earners.  From the CPS, 
the median age for self-employed adults (restricted to those 18-65) is 
around 46 (variance is lowest in this job class as well).  Median for 
private employment is around 37, public employment around 44, and for 
interns around 36.  Variance is highest for those not in labor force and 
their median is 41.

Straight is the ultimate post-gay construct.
