In 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the historic health care reform bill that will provide some type of coverage for the 32 million Americans currently without health care insurance.  Just how widespread is the lack of medical coverage?  The media claim that the segments of the population most at risk for disease and thus needing healthcare are women, children, the elderly and the poor. The following tables were generated from the U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement (2011).  The tables report the number of uninsured (in thousands) by sex, by age, and by household income. 

Is being insured or not dependent on gender?  Fill in the degrees of freedom and p-value in the output below and draw a clear conclusion indicating which gender is more at risk of not being insured if there is a significant difference.
