How that number measured??? IIRC??? What government insurance were they eligible for?

The number came from the same census counts that produced the 47 million number. IIRC stands for "if I remember correctly." Mostly Medicaid. (Apparently a lot of people don't sign up for Medicaid until they have an emergency and the hospital facilitates the paperwork.)
