Summary

Polls show a majority blame insurance and pharmaceutical companies for high costs, denied claims, and access issues.

Only 44% rate U.S. health care quality as “good” or “excellent,” a 20-year low.

Support for government intervention is rising, with 62% favoring federal responsibility for universal health care.

Meanwhile, satisfaction with the Affordable Care Act has grown, with 54% approving.

Trump’s unclear health care overhaul plans are entering a polarized environment where Americans remain split on private versus government-run systems.

It’s quite high. In Russia it’s 39%[1], 28% in lowest income bracket, 59% in highest income bracket and 41% in median-like bracket(sadly, it is not median). And USA citizen in Russia will receive more healthcare, than USA citizen in USA.

I think, just like Varlamov said about public transport and urban planning, the less people happy with healthcare - the better it will become. Or as it was in his example: in good cities residents say “LMAO, look how shitty my city is, here’s photos”, while in bad cities residents say “this is not shit on streets, this is fecal traditions”. I think it applies to all goverment policies.

this is with them hamstringing the aca during the last trump administration and with the mistake of allowing one company to own multiple sectors of the industry (hostpitals and insurance and pharmacy and manufacture and provider)
