What percentage of Americans have health care?

Answer 1

Official studies show the number of Americans withHealthcare to be very much above half (Around 83%, actually). Circa 2007, the number uninsured was calculated at about 15.3% - this varies, obviously, due to economic conditions, with the 2012 number hovering at 18%.

Note that "insurance" includes a wide variety of existing government healthcare programs (from Medicaid to Medicare or US Veterans' benefits), so the relevant answer is that about 85% of the population has some form of medical coverage either though private insurance, a public program, or some combination of the two. 15% have NO coverage of any kind.

Also, ALL Americans have a right to health care - that is, the right to be served in a hospital for emergencies, regardless of insurance. No person can be turned away from a hospital for emergency care due to lack of ability to pay (or lack of proof of insurance), though they will be billed for the services received (and may or may not be able to pay those bills).
