paucity - PAW-sit-ee - scarcity, lack, dearth
Example: "There is a paucity of agreement among everyone for a good health plan."
As a starter: and as a former teacher in English, I hope to add to reader's vocabulary by presenting a word a day in simple terms that anyone can understand - from current use in publications, radio,TV, etc. Remember: use a new word three times in a day and it's yours forever!
