It’s a sign that lots of Americans don’t have a job with benefits.
To really get an idea tho, we need to use percentages not total numbers. Since population keeps increasing, total numbers just go up organically.
We need to actually fix healthcare. We got nowhere close to even what Obama started asking for, but after it got argued down by Republicans and moderates, neither party wants to increase it.
Republicans want to break it just to break it. And dem party leadership barely wants to fight to keep what we have, there just aren’t enough progressives in office yet to overcome moderates so we can actually getting something close to what every other developed nation has.
