About This Data
This live ticker begins with the Census Bureau's count of uninsured Americans for 2008: 46.3 million people. That data is part of the Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC), released 9/10/2009. For more information, see this Census Bureau summary. The ticker uses the Census data through the end of 2008 and then begins counting from January 1, 2009 at a rate of 14,000 additional uninsured Americans each day. That rate of increase is derived from a Center for American Progress study released in February 2009. For more information, see this explanation of the CAP data.
