Let's sink that in: 2/3 of the population from your own numbers do not have insurance or an insurance they can pay the deductible for.

Alright, it is not a vast majority numerically. It is still a catastrophe waiting to happen in comparison with other countries.

Not sure how you came up with 2/3rds. A significant portion of the half of Americans who don’t get healthcare from their employer get it from Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs.
