Government health coverage might now exceed private coverage in US

The United States might be at the point where government health coverage exceeds private health insurance.

Roughly 150 million people have some form of taxpayer-subsidized health insurance, while about 153 million have employer-provided coverage, a recent analysis by Yahoo Finance found. The analysis, though, left out the 9 million employees and their dependents who are enrolled in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, which would mean that 159 million people have taxpayer-subsidized coverage.
