--------------------------------------------------



New figures show nearly 59 million Americans went without health
insurance for at least part of this year. According to the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, many lacked insurance despite having
conditions or diseases that required treatment. The numbers marked an
increase of at least four million people from the same period in 2008.
