>The % of US population covered by health insurance is around 84% That was pre-Obamacare. 91-92% of Americans have medical insurance, whether through their employers, or government programs like Medicare/Medicaid. >compared with most other rich countries, which are all at 100%. Nope. That's compared to 95-97% in other developed countries because there are always some people who fall through cracks, like (say) a Canadian who doesn't get a new provincial health care card after moving, or a German who neglects to buy into a new sickness fund after changing careers. The only such systems with actual 100% (or as close to it as possible) coverage is something like the UK NHS, which does not have a requirement to show a membership card (because, well, there isn't one) to receive treatment.
