Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has pushed the Democratic Party to expand access for health care, said during CNN's "State of the Union" show on Dec. 11 that "We have 85 million Americans who have no health insurance." PolitiFact checks those numbers.

EMPLOYEES. 2 DAYS OF PAID LEAVE. SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS SAID NEARLY A QUARTER OF AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. A QUARTER THAT SCENE HIGH. SO WRAL, POLITIFACT REPORTER PAUL SPAY TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE? WELL, IF YOU CAUSE SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS ON CNN THE OTHER DAY, YOU MIGHT THINK THE NUMBER IS AS HIGH AS ONE IN 4 AMERICANS. >> TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS AFTER THE ANCHOR ASKED HIM ABOUT A MILITARY DEFENSE BILL. >> YOU VOTED AGAINST THE NDA. THE DEFENSE BILL LAST TIME AROUND WHEN YOU DO SO AGAIN. YES, I THINK I WILL. LOOK, WE HAVE. WE HAVE 85 MILLION AMERICANS WHO HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE. SANDERS SAID 85 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE AND THAT NUMBER STOOD OUT TO US BECAUSE IT'S HIGHER THAN WHAT THE CDC REPORTED LAST YEAR. >> WHEN IT ESTIMATED THAT 27 MILLION PEOPLE WERE UNINSURED. WE ASKED SANDERS OFFICE ABOUT THIS. A SPOKESMAN SAID SANDERS WAS REFERRING TO THIS STUDY AND THAT THE SENATOR MISSPOKE. HE SAID THE 85 MILLION NUMBER IS THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BOTH UNINSURED AND UNDER ENSURE. NOW THAT REFERS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE HEALTH CARE PLANS, BUT THOSE PLANS DON'T PROVIDE THEM WITH AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. SANDERS OFFICE NOTED THAT HE INCLUDED THE ACCURATE STATISTIC IN AN OP-ED HE WROTE FOR THE GUARDIAN BACK IN OCTOBER. AND THAT'S WHY WE CONTINUE TO WRITE THIS CLAIM.
