Sad. But compelling.Another aspect that bothered me was that they said they couldn’t get the figures since 2000. Why? Is there something the feds don’t want us to know? Does it get worse? I imagine if it was better they’d be sure to tout that….It also made me wonder if women were less likely to be insured. I am unencumbered by any data on that, I’m really just curious. I thought it might be possible, though–after death of a spouse, or divorce, or just not having had access to a job with decent insurance, etc….
