Seventeen percent of voters were unsure.
"Americans are satisfied with their current health care plans, and aren't looking for a government takeover of our health care system," said
When asked how they would rate their current health insurance coverage, 75 percent rated it as good, compared to 19 percent who rated it adequate and 6 percent who rated it poor. This is a 5 percent increase in those approving of their coverage compared to PRI's 2022 survey.
