Yup, I found it. But I'd like to know where you got your summary. Below is another summary:
Overall Findings from the New Census Data
The new Census reports find that 47.0 million Americans were uninsured in 2006, an increase of 2.2 million over the number of uninsured in 2005 (44.8 million). Although it has been five years since the 2001 recession, the number of uninsured Americans has continued to climb and is more than 7 million higher than when the recession hit bottom that year.
The percentage of Americans without insurance climbed to 15.8 percent in 2006, above the 15.3 percent level in 2005 and considerably above the 14.1 percent level in 2001. The percentage of Americans without insurance has increased largely because employer-sponsored insurance coverage has continued to erode.
People with low incomes are much more likely to be uninsured. Some 25 percent of people with incomes below $25,000 were uninsured in 2006, almost triple the 8.5 percent rate among people with incomes over $75,000.
The percent of full-time working adults who lack health insurance rose to 17.9 percent in 2006, up from 17.2 percent. The number of full-time working adults who are uninsured climbed by 1.2 million, to 22.0 million.
African-Americans (20.5 percent uninsured) and Hispanics (34 percent) are much more likely to be uninsured than non-Hispanic whites (10.8 percent). The percentage of African-Americans and Hispanics who are uninsured rose in 2006.
Non-citizen immigrants were much more likely to be uninsured (45 percent uninsured) than native-born citizens (13 percent). The percentage of both native-born citizens and non-citizen immigrants who are uninsured increased in 2006.
Unlike in prior years, the Census Bureau has not yet published data that show the extent to which health insurance coverage has changed at the state level. Because of technical revisions, analysts should be cautious in making comparisons to previously published state estimates.
Sounds a bit different, I'd sy.
