Looks like we're pretty close to your target if you use the 45.7M estimate from the Census and then look at the real numbers of the people that are truly "uninsured" being at about 8.2M. Comes out to about 82% covered or not really needing gov't coverage. There are also some other examples of non-gov't controlled heath care solutions detailed.
A link from an insurance company? ...come on man...just scanned the first few pages...it says 1/3 are eligible for government assistance but aren't enrolled. These are people the government isn't paying for through various programs (i.e. medicaid, SCHIP, etc) so I'm not sure how you translated that to "82% covered or not really needing gov't coverage."
