What percentage of those 26m people without coverage are either (a) not legal residents of the USA and thus would also not qualify for a universal healthcare insurance plan; or (b) sufficiently wealthy that they would just as soon pay out of pocket, rather than purchase a plan?

I would guess that many of the 26m are young and healthy, and think they will stay that way forever, and don't want to spend any money on insurance. If they work at a job with a paycheck, chances are their employer covers them. But if they own their business or work as a contractor, they won't bother. Then, when they find themselves in a hospital after a bike crash, we all pay the bill.
