The number of people without health insurance went up between 2007 and 2009 in 47 out of the other 49 states. The other two states showed no change.
In 2009, there are 15 states in which the number of uninsured is 20% or more.
In 2009, the uninsurance rate in Arkansas (Blanche Lincoln’s home state) is 20%.
In 2009, the uninsurance rate in Louisiana (Mary Landrieu’s home state) is 22%.
In 2009, the uninsurance rate in Nebraska (Ben Nelson’s home state) is 10%.
(Funny how Ben Nelson is more amenable to healthcare reform than Landrieu and Lincoln.)
