95% is not a "very limited" number of people. It is almost all. I think I may have lost track of the point here. Are you claiming that 95% does not qualify as "almost all" and that that disconnect is critical to the argument? In my book 95 out of a hundred of most anything qualifies as "almost all." I wouldn't even argue with 85 of 100 being classified as "almost all" depending on the context although that's less clearly so. For example, finding 85% of body parts after a plane crash would reasonably be considered "almost all" but 85% of bank accounts being safe would not. I don't have a problem with inode employing the assessment of "almost all" to 95% of people with health coverage. Do you?
