This does seem to be the case...again, health care should be regulated like a utility, as just like gas, electricity, and water, if you don't have it, it is life threatening..and even more so is health care.  BD 

The number of Americans without insurance continues to rise, but Congress likely will let states and presidential candidates take the lead on health care reform for now. The Census Bureau reported Aug. 28 that 47 million Americans lacked health insurance in 2006, up 2.2 million from 2005. Many of these uninsured Americans work for small businesses, so these firms will play a major role in any initiative to cover more people. The health care issue immediately facing Congress is whether to expand a government program covering children. Both the House and Senate have voted to make more children eligible for the State Children's Health Insurance Program, but they disagree on how to pay for it.
