Census officials said the change constituted nearly half of the 2.2 million people who were added to the ranks of the uninsured in the past year, bringing that total to 47 million. The number of uninsured was 44.8 million in 2005."

[] "The health-care squeeze." //Economist// 394.8675 (2010): 74. //Academic Search Elite//. EBSCO. Web. 1 Apr. 2010. Today that world has vanished: global competition has intensified dramatically, the life expectancy of companies has shrunk, and General Motors complains that providing //health // care adds $1,500-2,000 to the cost of every car it produces in America. The system seems designed to inflate costs. Employees feel no compunction about undergoing expensive treatments, since the company pays. The fact that employer-provided insurance is untaxed blunts employers' incentives to control costs.
