This is probably because a lot of them lack internet. Our internet penetration is around 75%. Medical insurance is 85%. I suspect there's a lot of overlap between the un-internetted and un-insured.

So, under this theory universal healthcare is impossible if it relies on the internet for adoption? Hmmm...

Single-payer wouldn't have had this problem, because you wouldn't have needed to sign up for anything ...
