Isnt a lot of this an effect from Obamacare? Forcing every American to purchase insurance significantly changed the insurance landscape in America for people both with and without insurance.

Yup. That's a lot of the growth between 2000 and 2010. I guess a better indicator would be the growth between 2013 (post Obamacare boom) and today. That has gone from 56,533,472 to 73,355,220.
