Hispanics had the highest rate of any people without health insurance. Children in poverty had a higher uninsured rate than any other children.

These low health insurance rates and the persistent wage gap limit women's ability to move out of poverty. Women continue to sacrifice almost a quarter of their earning power every year to gender inequalities in the labor market. We need strong legal protections against discrimination and public policies that reduce poverty, increase wages, and extend health benefits to the uninsured.

We all want to support children and children's health-insurance programs. But not knowing what the terms and conditions are causes us concern.

This president didn't sound particularly concerned about the 46 million people without health insurance.

She could not buy health insurance as an individual. So I had interviewed with Social Security. I have never looked back.

Among these are how many and how frequently people have lapses in their health insurance; the characteristics of people with disabilities; the presence of health care provisions in child support agreements; and whether more people enter or exit poverty during a given year.
