98% of them can't. So the taxpayer picks up the tab.

So, how much of the losses in federal reimbursement are charged to the person who pays for healthcare? And, how much is paid is the end by the taxpayer?

Obamacare is a stepping stone to universal healthcare along with a payroll tax/income tax to pay for it in "americaland" as you put it.

Using the existing private health insurers is a transition option -- I can't see it as a permanent solution.
