[lbo-talk] uninsurance rates by state

[Steven L. Robinson]

Looks more like a division between the sunbelt (high rate) vs. frostbelt (low rate). California is the joker in the deck as it is both a sunbelt and a blue state yet it is a relatively high rate of uninsurance. SR

[Looks like the ten lowest are mostly Dem; the ten highest, mostly  
Rep. What a funny country. The ranks are all in graphics, which I  
can't forward, and don't feel like typing.]

Uninsured: Highest Percentage in Texas, Lowest in Mass.Percentage of  
adults without health insurance is up in several states
by Elizabeth Mendes
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Higher percentages of Texas, New Mexico, and  
Mississippi residents are without health insurance -- roughly one in  
four -- than is true for any other states in the U.S. In  
Massachusetts, where legislation requires all residents to carry  
health insurance coverage or face a tax penalty, 5.5% are without  
insurance -- the lowest percentage in the country.
