Just a thought about those uninsured numbers:

I work in a company with terrible insurance. I think every employee with a working spouse has the spouse's insurance just because it's better for them and their family.

Now, I'll wager that in most two-worker families, the whole family is covered by only one's insurance. Does that drop the worker who is not taking his/her company's insurance into the "uninsured" cohort?

I am sure that when employers are questioned by the insurance carrier about the number of employees eligible for insurance, and that number is compared to the number using the available insurance, there is a gap. Is that gap added to the "uninsured" number?

I don't know, but it seemed worth wondering about.
