Nearly 59 million Americans went without health insurance coverage for at least part of 2010, many of them with conditions or diseases that needed treatment, federal health officials said on Tuesday.They said 4 million more Americans went without insurance in the first part of 2010 than during the same time in 2008.
"Both adults and kids lost private coverage over the past decade," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a news briefing.
The findings have implications for U.S. healthcare reform efforts. A bill passed in March promises to get health insurance coverage to 32 million Americans who currently lack coverage.
But Republicans who just took control of the House of Representatives last week have vowed to derail the new law by cutting off the funds for it, and some want to repeal it. Experts from both sides predict gridlock in Congress for the next two years in implementing healthcare reform's provisions.

insurance is a fraud. if the government wasn't stealing a quarter of my income I could afford a whole hell of a lot more, AND be able to pay my doctor... we don't need insurance we need to abolish the arbitrary taxes that make me too poor to afford my own health care! and fuck these parasites who think they're entitled to health care... it's because of them that people like me who actuall work for a living can't afford it.
