A Bluesky post by the reporter...

A reply

this is pretty unfair because the people who are most dissatisfied with health insurance are dead

A few things spring to mind:

  • The chart excludes people with no opinion so it's difficult to tell the magnitudes the chart is showing.

  • The chart excludes people without health insurance so you're looking only getting an incomplete picture of what's going on.

  • More importantly, there's zero ability to cross reference this against who has had to actually use their insurance. I'd wager that people with a negative opinion have had to engage with their insurance for more than a physical.

  • Aren't people over 65 qualified for Medicare? Interesting how there's a sudden jump in approval.

Yeap.

Interesting how there's a sudden jump in approval.

I only look at a tiny slice of Bluesky but I have yet to see a lib there make that connection.

Or they can't have insurance and can't afford it but aren't dead... That should not be excluded from the bar graph either.
