Cite, please.
Here is how I would think this one through.
Approximately half of those w/o insurance work for small businesses who dont offer insurance.
Over 90% of persons who earn so little that arent pay income taxes (get more back than they pay) are earning less than $20,000/yr.
Are you suggesting that most small business employees earn less than $20,000/yr.
One reason that SCHIP was expanded was that an increasing number of parents of working families did not have access to affordable health insurance.....this includes people making more than 200% of the poverty level. They pay taxes!
