3% == Citizens who *want* health insurance but are not covered. 86%==Number happy with what they've got (TIME August 10)
Admittedly off topic, but "happy with what they've got" is not a good metric for healthcare.If you are paying more for your care than you have to, getting more unnecessary or unproven (potentially harmful) procedures, getting less preventative care, and ending up with worse outcomes, then you are not getting a good deal. You may be happy with what you've got, but that does not mean that what you've got is good, especially when we have examples of countries spending less money for better outcomes while insuring everyone.
Notice I'm not arguing that we MUST do something about it, but stating that "being happy with it" is not a rational argument against trying to improve the system or even having to improve the system in order to ward off potentially disastrous consequences.
I call your metric the Bill Gates measure - paraphrased - "Everyone should be happy with 640K!"
