A new report shows nearly 44 million Americans were uninsured last year. Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed survey data.

In the 1970's and 1980's nearly 80% of Americans had private health insurance. Experts say the failing economy and increasing health insurance premiums may be to blame.

The number of children with health insurance has increased significantly during the past 10 years.
