Maybe off topic, but I appreciate the information, that's pretty surprising to me. The numbers do seem to check out, and once you actually say it makes sense.

Thanks :)
- _delirium 6y agoYeah, I was surprised by it when I first looked it up also. I think partly because most people who are demographically similar to me are on private health insurance, so I think of the US as having mostly a private system. But a little over 40% of the U.S. population has public coverage: 20% are on Medicaid or CHIP (lower-income), 18% Medicare (age 65+), and 5% military/veteran.
