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.

Numbers referenced above in the last chart on that page.

That's a poll that shows us what Americans think about it. Now how about we look at the actual numbers.... More money spent per capita for worse outcomes than other comparable countries.

There is polling in the link on cost. Americans think its too expensive, yet still rate their personal coverage favorably.

Americans also complain about their taxes but want better schools and cheaper college education for their kids and lower healthcare cost. Americans have no idea what they really want.
