The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. ~ Marcus Aurelius“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

“The urge to shout filthy words at the top of his voice was as strong as ever.”

Hey, I do understand that you are intellectually lazy and failed reading comprehension and that doesn't give you a pass.
Ummm, according to this article from 2016 the percentage of employers, overall that were fully or partially self funded is 63% and rising. This is a substantial majority and when a 3% lead in the popular vote is lauded as a landslide in the media, my saying vast majority is justified. I will walk that back to a substantial majority. So a small pyrrhic victory for you and then you shoot yourself in dick with your follow on expulsion of bullshit.
I never mentioned individual policies which you allude to in your comment about percentage of insurance policies, Medicaid, Medicare or Tricare at all. I have only spoken about the employer provided health insurance market. What a lazy attempt at deflection that isn't going to work. Tricare is contracted out in 7 managed care regional contracts and major insurance companies are contracted to provide administration and customer service. Just like employer driven care, the insurance company is not paying the cost of the claims, they are doing paperwork, accounting and customer service and they are paid a fee for that. The cost of the care such as the cost of a colonoscopy or appendectomy don't matter in the profitability for the insurance company. The insurance company gets paid based on service levels, accuracy and cost containment (A nice way of saying that they don't allow frivolous testing, unnecessary or experimental treatments and so on).
The same is true for Medicaid administered by the the states and Medicare, the profitability for the insurance company, if involved at all, is based on service levels, accuracy and cost containment, not on the cost of procedures.
I am neither ignorant nor erroneous in what I have said and I have clearly supported it multiple times. You on the other hand continue to spew unfounded, uninformed and unsupported garbage about something that you clearly know little about. You have eagerly accepted the mass media spoon fed spin on insurance like a Sally Struthers the Hutt going after a Chocolate Yum Yum bar.
To answer the over riding issue, the government is why we have this giant mess in the first place and if you think that the government can fix it, then you clearly haven't been paying attention.
