HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN: More Americans uninsured under Bush

HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

More Americans Were Uninsured and Poor in 2003, Census Finds
The ranks of the poor and those without health insurance grew in 2003 for the third straight year, the government reported on Thursday, in a sign of the lingering pain being caused by a long slump in the job markets.

Graph from New York Times
In 2003 for third straight year? Oh, that would be since.... year 2001. It reminds me of George Bush's S/election year.

Also, about 1.3 million Americans slid into poverty in 2003 as the ranks of the poor swelled to almost 36 million.
