Being Uninsured Remains a "Crisis" of Income

In an astounding statistical analysis, the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) reported that the greatest and growing problem of the uninsured is among those families who can afford to purchase health insurance. According to latest census figures almost 90% of the increase in the uninsured has taken hold among higher-income households of $50,000 or more. Amazingly, the number of uninsured Americans in families earning more than $75,000 has increased by 153%..... Could these income representations reflect the spiralling irrelevance of current annual household income figures that attempt to define contemporary demographic segments? Could this be the 'real' crisis of income?
