I didn't say "health care provided by a governmental agency" or
"employer-provided health care".
I just said America had "health care for its working-age population".
That was overwhelmingly self-funded, just as it is today in saying America
has cars for its working age population. Saying America has cars for its
working-age population implies neither a government-funded program to buy
everyone a car nor that most workers get cars as a workplace benefit.
