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

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

    I want health insurance from a private company of MY choice. I don’t want to choose my job based on what health insurance they provide. Right now nobody reports to me - there is no incentive anywhere for me.

        Because I believe in the free market. But what we means I’m not actually in the market and so the free market isn’t serving me.

            Maybe, but generally universal has subsidies and so private cannot compete. Or universal has limits on coverage thus making poor who really need help unable to get good care
