31 percent of young workers report being uninsured, up from 24 percent 10 years ago, and 79 percent of the uninsured say they don’t have coverage because they can’t afford it or their employer does not offer it.


Bonus facts, because I've missed several days:

- Only 31 percent [of young workers] say they make enough money to cover their bills and put some money aside—22 percentage points fewer than in 1999—while 24 percent cannot even pay their monthly bills.

- 37 percent have put off education or professional development because they can’t afford it.

Oh, and Michele Bachmann is crazy.
