A couple major problems with surveys about health insurance in the US:

‘1.) The questions usually do not distinguish between “happy with my health insurance” and “happy TO HAVE health insurance”. Losing your health insurance is a huge way to make workers feel their situation is precarious, so usually folks are just relieved to have it.

‘2.) They usually include Medicare as “health insurance”. Medicare has incredibly high satisfaction rates, and it’s also a de facto universal healthcare program, so of course people love it. But it skews the results pretty bad because Medicare is much closer to universal healthcare than it is an insurance program.----
