How many health insurance policies written in USA in 2007 or 2006?

We understand that 49 million plus Americans do not have health insurance. There is individual and there is family insurance. Therefore, if 300 million Americans and 50 do not have health insurance then 250 million do. Were 250 million policies written?

Answer by mbrcatz17
Well, your numbers are off. About 42 million PEOPLE here in the US have no health insurance, and about HALF of them aren't Americans. So you're looking at about 21,000,000 Americans. HALF of them are uninsured by choice. They don't WANT the health insurance.

No, there aren't 250 million policies written. The vast, vast majority of Americans are covered by group health plans. My husband's employer has ONE policy, which covers over 3,000 employees, AND THEIR FAMILIES. Maybe, 15,000 people total.

No one collects the number of policies there are in force. It's too vast a project, and every day, the number changes.

Was walking down New St and spotted this place, on bottom of Bennetts Hill

Coat of arms on building at corner of Bennetts Hill and New Street.

This is 18 - 19 Bennetts Hill and 51, 52 and 53 New Street.

It is a Grade II listed building.

Includes Nos 51, 52 and 53 New Street. Early C20. Stone, and in an Edwardian Baroque style. Three storeys plus attic; 5 bay centrepiece plus 2 bays on the left and a diagonal segment-headed bay on the corner (the entrance to No 53 New Street) and the return on New Street with the entrances to Nos 51 and 52 New Street. Ground floor with modern shop fronts and the entrance arch with flanking blocked pilasters carrying an open and broken pediment with arms. Above this, the centrepiece advanced slightly and the inner 3 bays with Ionic pilasters carrying a broken pediment and, within this framework, Ionic columns carrying an open and broken segmental pediment with round window with garlands. Above this a shallow dome flanked by figures and little polygonal and domed cupolas. The fenestration by sashes in moulded framed with cornices on the first floor and with keystones and aprons on the second floor. Important corner site with New Street.

51, 52 and 53 New Street - Heritage Gateway

The Former London & Lancashire Insurance Co. of 1906-8 by Riley & Smith. Edwardian Baroque, rare in Birmingham, and significantly by commerical architect-surveyors. But its big pediment and low dome are excellent street scenery. Good sculpture: cherubs and garlands, and the company's arms with fearsome gryphons. The Birmingham Guild did work here. Partly original shopfronts.
