Ha, do 60% of Americans even have private health insurance? Less than half get it through their employer, so that would mean more than 10% are just paying out

Ha, do 60% of Americans even have private health insurance? Less than half get it through their employer, so that would mean more than 10% are just paying out of pocket through the exchanges?
- nickff 3y agoThis is extremely easy to look up, from a very reliable source: >"In 2022, private health insurance coverage continued to be more prevalent than public coverage, at 65.6 percent and 36.1 percent, respectively." https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-281.html https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-28...
- rootusrootus 3y agoThanks for that. 65% is more than I'd have expected. 48% get it through employer, so the number paying for it on the exchanges is around 17%. I would have guessed the employer number were higher than the out-of-pocket payers lower.
