Sure;

Majority of Americans Satisfied With Their Healthcare Plans

Quote:
Eighty-three percent of Americans rate the quality of healthcare they receive as excellent or good, while only 15% say theirs is poor. Slightly less, 70%, say their healthcare coverage is excellent or good. These ratings have been fairly stable in the seven years in which Gallup's Healthcare survey has been conducted.
I believe the recent Pew and CBS polls had approx the same percentage that were satisfied with their health care.

I'm happy with my coverage, but luckily I've never had to use it for anything major.

Maybe I should have asked what percentage are "cheering" the success of their coverage, since that was the terminology used in the title of this thread.

Here is another quote from your link:

"Gallup's annual Healthcare survey, conducted Nov. 11-14, finds 57% of Americans saying they are satisfied with the total cost they pay for their healthcare, while 39% are dissatisfied. "

So, while a strong majority are satisfied with the quality of the care they get, a much smaller percentage are hapy with the cost.

Now you want to move the goal post?

It is amazing that so many people can be satisfied with their own health care and yet supposedly want to dismantle the whole system because A FEW are underinsured or not happy at all.

Thats about the same percentage that supports the single payer option.

While I'm 'satisfied' with my current health care plan, I'm very much in favor of UHC.

Costs are a problem for some. But as the CBO recently stated, the aging population is a significant factor as well in the HC issue.

Other polls say differently.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I wasn't referring to you necessarily. The percentage of people satisfied with their HC is contrary to the supposed percentage that the liberal media/obama/dems/libs tells us that want to overhaul the whole system.

Just doesn't make sense.
