This Wikipedia article is a good summary, especially the breakdown of uninsured populations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_coverage_in...

There are a number of reports of out-of-pocket spending and insurance plan policy detail is generally available. Do you have a preferred source for that data? This conversation is about FIRE, but a summary of the prevelance of burdensome healthcare costs in respect to the broader US population was published here: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2...

Again, these are just gentle introductions to the data. I would be happy to read what you’re looking at.
