47 or 307 or 15% of USa are not insured...since I don't have health insurance at the moment, it just seems like there are more of us uninsured...

News Alert from The Wall Street Journal

The number of people lacking health insurance in the U.S. rose to 46.3 million in 2008, the Census Bureau reported. The figure is up from 45.7 million in 2007, amid erosion of employer-provided insurance. Still, the level remained below the peak of 47 million who were uninsured in 2006, because of the growth of government insurance programs.

The nation's poverty rate increased to 13.2%, up from 12.5% in 2007.
