did some investigating myself after have been reading an article about free health care in Virginia. It is offered ONCE a year. In giant tents....

found these figures:
according to Kaiser State Health Facts stats for 2006
9,5 million(12,5%) kids between 0-18 in the US didn't have a health insurance.
47 million(16%) of the entire population( approx 300 million) was uninsured for same time period.

Am sure there must be money to finance the health care system somehow!?

Greatest country on the earth...
...perhaps refers to the land area.
don't get me wrong I really like America and am not trying to insult anyone here, -I have visit the country perhaps 16-18 times-but above stats are chocking.
The economy is perhaps the strongest in the world so I find it not only strange but also bizzare.
