Thousand of Children Lose Healthcare Under Haley Barbour

The following was forwarded to me by e-mail:
The number of uninsured persons in Mississippi rose 24 percent from 2005 to 2006 according to data released on August 28 by the U. S. Census Bureau. A total of 600,000 Mississippians were without insurance in 2006; in 2005, the total was 483,000. The number of children under 18 years of age without insurance increased 72 percent from 85,000 in 2005 to 146,000 in 2006.

The Center for Mississippi Health Policy has prepared a chartbook illustrating health insurance coverage trends in Mississippi from 2000 through 2006 based on Census data. For more information, visit the Center’s web site at : http://www.mshealthpolicy.com/2006Census.htm.

  1. Is anybody going to start compiling a "sheet" on Barbour? There is just so much bad stuff coming out in so many places, it's almost impossible to keep up with it all.
