First, this chart is compiled by a liberal group, so we're using their numbers.

1. RED: Note that there are ALREADY 29 million who are not covered. They are going nuclear in the news today about 14 million uncovered, but the stats say 29 million are uncovered right now. EVER hear them talked about...except the 11 million illegals?

2. Green: Note that vast majority are covered by Employer: Green, 153 million

3. Brown & Brick: Next largest group is Medicare and traditional Medicaid: Brown & Brick, ~73 million

4. That means we are not arguing, for the most part, over our OWN health care.

5. Blue and Yellow: are the Obamacare covered, about 34 million people.

The odds are that you are NOT on Obamacare, and would probably NOT be on any plan put out by the GOP.

[Robert A Cook PE]

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.)

[knittnmom]

Good information. PFL.

[Baynative]

The truth the media can't mention is that Obamacare is LAW. Yet, 30 to 40 MILLION people have elected to essentially take a course of criminality rather than submit to the government mandate.

[Sacajaweau]

Number 7.....You have to be 65 to be in Medicare. This #7 is who then??

[Lurkinanloomin]

Those 29 million are the illegal aliens.
That’s what Ryancare is trying to fix about Obamacare.

Insured/uninsured Pie Chart

[DUMBGRUNT]

Such a nice colorful pie chart for Pi day!

[AmusedBystander]

Yes, you are covered by Obamacare even in employer provided plans. Obama destroyed employee provided plans and we are left with only high deductible plans at much higher rates. The only decrease in "uninsured" were from those placed in Medicaid, which we taxpayers have to pay for.

And one of the worst things is that those on Medicaid can go to the doctor whenever they want for pennies while those of us on high deductible plans can not afford to do so and we pay for both plans to boot.

[wrench]

While few are officially covered by 0bamacare, ALL Americans, especially working Americans have been adversely affected via much higher premiums, higher deductibles, and loss of choice in coverage and doctors.

If your Pi chart showed adverse economic impact, the Teds would show no adverse economic impact, whole the Greens would show the most.

Junk the whole thing and go totally free market.

[MSF BU]

The number of illegals may be over thirty million, most of them Mexicans.

[novemberslady]

I am self employed.
I have not had any health insurance for the last eight years.

I will not sign up for Obamacare-lite

Pual Ryan is rat bastard, and so are his buddies.

That means we are not arguing, for the most part, over our OWN health care.

Well it certainly does, as regards artificial and outrageous premium hikes.

1. RED: Note that there are ALREADY 29 million who are not covered. They are going nuclear in the news today about 14 million uncovered, but the stats say 29 million are uncovered right now. EVER hear them talked about...except the 11 million illegals?

That begs the question ... are they saying that 14 million on top of the already 29 million not covered would lose their coverage?

[Intolerant in NJ]

Vast majority of US NOT on Obamacare...no kidding - 85% of the people in this country had perfectly good medical coverage before Obamacare came along - more people lost coverage and then had to take new, less desirable policies under the plan than were freshly covered by it - and the majority of those newly covered under the plan were covered by expanded Medicaid rather than by open market policies - Medicaid could have been expanded without Obamacare - the entire 2000 plus page fiasco resulted in coverage for about ten million Americans who were not previously covered and who wouldn't have been covered by the expanded Medicaid provisions - a disgraceful misuse of government......

[momincombatboots]

The point is not who has what insurance. The point is people who pay zero, zilch, nada consume healthcare at incredibly higher rates. A hospital gets $0.25 reimbursement for every dollar spent providing care. Who gets the other $0.75?
