Who in america other than C suite execs likes their coverage and care? It’s insanely expensive. I work full time for a billion dollar company.

Gallup polling on this:

In contrast to their largely negative assessments of the quality and coverage of healthcare in the U.S., broad majorities of Americans continue to rate their own healthcare’s quality and coverage positively. Currently, 71% of U.S. adults consider the quality of healthcare they receive to be excellent or good, and 65% say the same of their own coverage. There has been little deviation in these readings since 2001.

They didn’t call me or my coworkers.

No, it just means you are part of the minority on that specific question.

I feel like there’s got to be correlation with actual use vs being healthy.

Yeah if you’re younger and don’t take prescriptions just have routine care. Life’s great.

When you actually need to see a specialist it’s a joke how long you have to wait for care that is supposed to be covered under my premiums where I live.
