Also, how many uninsured actually try to get insurance? I would guess that the 15% unisnured number is really less when you factor in that some people choose not to get insurance.
So is Healthcare really something that will get someone elected?

Nope. I think the main issues will be the war in Iraq and the economy, in that order.
As far as health care goes, I don't think its insured vs. uninsured only, I think its also the COST of insurance and the costs of health care. By the way, where did you get the figure of 15% uninsured? I would think it would be higher than that...
