Reduced to free maybe. 27% don't pay anything, and in some cases have overlapping coverage from more than one insurance plan. 9% pay their own insurance costs. 16% million people have no insurance what-so-ever. That leaves 48% who have health care insurance, and again, some have overlapping coverage from more than one plan. The US ranks 47th in life expectancy even though the US is #1 in cost. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
