Problem is, there are 117 million working, covered y some private or employer-paid plan - ALL mandated by Obamacare.
And there are more than 193 million on government-paid “plans” - ALL mandated by added rules forced by Obamacare.
And “only” 29 million illegals and not-covered. (More likely this is too few illegals.)
Employers were covering before Obamacare.
Plus, the employer mandates were postponed until this year, iirc.
Robert A. Cook, P.E. cited an important dissection of the pie chart into ONLY 2 groups with coverage MANDATED by ACA. I believe that these 2 groups could be further described as:
1. Tax-Payers: 117 million working - covered by private or employer plans
2. Tax-Consumers: 193 million on government-paid “plans”
Note:
1. Tax-Consumers significantly outnumber Tax-Payers. Parasites WILL eventually kill the HOST!
2. The only problem with Socialized Medicine (the 1st step into Nationalized economy / Socialism by Stalin & Hitler & attempted by Hillary Clinton in 1993) is eventually you run out of other people’s money!
