Who are the 5-15 million in USA who need health insurance?

46 million without health insurance (12 million illegal immigrants, 10 miilion who make over $75,000 and choose not to buy insurance, another 10-20 million young people (18-25) who are generally pretty healthy and don't need it. Who are the others? Poor? Uninsurable?
--------------------
Many are the poor who qualify for Medicaid but don't want the stigma of being on welfare. Many others are between jobs who are counted even if they don't have insurance for only a month. The rest are uninsurable and these are the people that need a health care reform.
