To make a complicated story a little shorter:
When people are uninsured and have to use the hospital, they have to pay for it themselves. But these uninsured people usually do not have much money, so they can't afford to pay it.
If they don't pay, then it means the hospital lost the money that they should have gotten for that treatment (the doctors and nurses have to get paid, the equipment costs money, the drugs cost money, etc)- to make up for it, they then raise the prices on everything else.
What else can I help you with?

How many Americans do not have health insurance?
http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2007/20070718153509.aspx You should go here to read this article. The number of uninsured isn't as simple as 47 million. Many of those people aren't Americans, or can afford health insurance and simply opt-out, etc. This number is VERY debatable. It might even be as low as 8 - 9 million Americans.Did you want Fox News Numbers or CNN numbers? 8-9 million sounds like Fox News talking.
What kinds of economic policies might reduce health inequities and improve the overall health of most Americans?
A universal single payer insurance would help to reduce disparities. It would improve the health of the uninsured and under-insured. Since lack of insurance is not the only barrier to health no policy would eliminate all of the disparities. Since most Americans currently have good health insurance, and as stated above their are other barriers, no policy would improve the health of "most".
