Bogus answer. And if you post a Heritage Foundation answer, try again.
My first question is this: does the percentage include employees who receive free or close to free health insurance from their employer?
TI has more than 13,000 employees in the US. They pay $25 per paycheck for a $300 deductible plan on employee only coverage.
Are they included in the 40%?
And I promise you, with 70% of the TI workforce having a Bachelors Degree and almost 30% with a PE, they damn sure aren't moochers.
Perhaps he is including Medicare beneficiaries? That is 55 million+ right there and getting bigger every month. I have also heard 20% of Americans are on Medicaid. Maybe that is where the 40% comes from?
Of course, don't know how many dual enrolled are being counted twice.
The argument for Medicare is that they paid in over the years, of course. However, Medicare tax is small compared to social security (which is eventually going to pay out more than it is getting each year, if it hasn't already). For new to medicare people, they paid, what, maybe $40 a month for the average wage earner averaged over their lifetime? They worked 40 years before going on Medicare, that is $19,200 over their lifetime.
Even with the part B premium they have to pay at 65, someone can blow through that in no time flat. And the high earners get rewarded by paying IRRA for their Medicare.

This sure won't help the trend...........

That wasn't so hard....was it? Great job!
Oh don't think I'm letting it go....
1. What percentage of the Medicaid/CHIPs are foster or foster-adopted? TX assumes 20%.
2. What percentage are over 65?
3. Are people that receive (or close to free) at their place of employment included?
4. What percentage are U65, but Medicare eligible
I'm not really expecting answers from my favorite Bob, but 40%? Seriously?
That spin number ranks right up there with the $850 deductible crap we got out of CMS last week
