But I am not! The question should be "Who Are the Uninsured"? Who will be covered by the proposed plan? There are many reports trying to define the uninsured: The New York Times lists some of them at: http://prescriptions.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/23/who-are-the-uninsured/ Here's another: http://www.opednews.com/articles/WHY-ARE-THE-TOTAL-FIGURES-by-ALONE-100227-547.html Here's the Cato Institutes take: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10449 NOTE: Only about 30 percent of the uninsured remain so for more than a year, approximately 16 percent for two years, and less than 2.5 percent for three years or longer. About half are uninsured for six months or less. The majority are "working poor" - those whose wages are lower than the poverty rate.

Want to know what the real unemployment rate is? Look up U-6. U-6 is running at 17% . As for this idea that, if someone stops looking for a job, he's no longer "unemployed," well, who decides what the cutoff is? Oops, you got it, the government. The same people who need that number to be lower. They’ve been cooking the books on the unemployment rate for a long time now. Want to know what the real unemployment rate is? Look up U-6.

NREL published an analysis in '04 showing PV panels returning their embodied material and mfg energy in 2 to 5 years, depending on type, and they should produce for upwards of 30 yrs total.. so they do in that analysis fully return their production energy several times over.
