Health Reform Data Note Examines Americans' Satisfaction With Insurance Coverage

Health Reform Data Note Examines Americans' Satisfaction With Insurance Coverage


"As policymakers in Washington consider health reform, those on both sides of the debate frequently note
that most Americans who have health insurance are satisfied with their coverage. Opponents cite it as a
reason to reject comprehensive reform, while proponents say they want to reform the parts of the health
system that don't work while allowing Americans who are happy with their insurance to keep the coverage
that they have.1 This data note digs deeper into Americans’ reported satisfaction with their health
insurance, examines Americans’ reported health care experiences and worries, and explores who is more
and less likely to say they are satisfied with the cost and quality of their coverage."
