Exhibit A:

The US economy is improving for the super rich.

After two years of declines, the total net worth of America's richest people rose 10 per cent to $US955 billion ($1.44 trillion) this year from last year, according to Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the nation's 400 wealthiest individuals.

Americans who receive health insurance through their employers have dropped to less than one- half of all workers from about two- thirds a decade ago, according to a report on the nation's health coverage released yesterday by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
