Posted By tehranchik 4 months, 1 week ago in Business & FinanceAbout 63 percent of Americans receive medical care through their employer and nearly 20 percent are uninsured. 16 percent receive some insurance through a federal program like Medicaid or Medicare. The rest of us—between 5 and 7 percent—pay for insurance out of pocket. That’s a small share of the total at any one time, yes.

We’re the freelancers, the newly unemployed, the entrepreneurs, the people who are transitioning out of college or grad school or between jobs, or the ones who work for employers with fewer than 20 employees.
