“If Trump adds the 25 million jobs he’s targeted, then he will also add 25 million health care coverages.”

I don’t think it would be quite that high.

Some of those jobs are likely to be contract type employment without benefits, (companies like to do that where it makes sense to help keep costs down)

Some of those jobs will likely be part-time without benefits, (companies like to do that where it makes sense to help keep costs down)

Some of those jobs will likely be second income jobs for a given household with the primary earner carrying the insurance cost.

Some of the newly employed will be hired on a trial basis without immediate access to benefits. Of that number a portion won’t make it past the trial period and will end up unemployed again. That cycle could repeat a time or two before a permanent employee is settled on.

I think the final number gaining new or primary insurance through job creation will be significantly lower than the total number of jobs created.
