While some states do better than others, there are still millions of Americans without health insurance, or the funds to purchase that insurance. For the richest nation in the world, that is shameful. All other developed nations cover all of their citizens with health insurance.

The reconciliation bill passed by the House and being considered now by the Senate would take health insurance away from an additional 16 million people (so they can give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires).
