84% of american have any form of insurance including government provided.
27% of americans have government provided insurance.
the figures add up to over 100% because of overlap. many medicare recipients also have a supplemental private policy.
but absent government provided insurance, 31% of americans would not have any.
and 16% have none regardless of current government provided insurance.
don't let facts get in your way.
