CNN Truth Squad: The uninsured — 46 million or 8 million?

The Statement: The number of people unable to get health insurance in the United States is only about 8 million, far lower than the total of 46 million that the Census Bureau says lack health insurance. Several people at congressional town hall meetings have cited the figure to argue that the sweeping congressional proposals to expand health coverage are unnecessary.

The Facts: The figure has been disseminated by the Pacific Research Institute, a conservative think tank that opposes the Obama administration's push for health-care reform. But Rowena Itchon, a spokeswoman for the institute, said the number was drawn from a 2003 study by the insurance company Blue Cross-Blue Shield.

But the Census Bureau's survey — which found about 15 percent of the U.S. population uninsured — is the largest and most regular survey, said Karyn Schwartz, a senior policy analyst at the nonprofit and nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. And according to its findings, "The bulk of the uninsured are U.S. citizens, they're from working families, but they have low incomes and would likely have trouble affording private coverage," she said.

The latest Census Bureau survey was published in 2008, based on data gathered in 2007. That survey does not take into account effects of the current recession, which officially began in December 2007.

The Verdict: In dispute — but most researchers who study health care issues rely on the Census Bureau's figures.

Could you imagine the children of a Bartiromo/Scarborough pairing? Smarmy and smug to the nth degree.
