> 91.2% of people have coverage, 67.2% through their employer. 71% of Americans answered they are satisfied with their employer-provided coverage.

So, almost 4 percentage points more Americans are satisfied with their employer-provided healthcare than actually have it?

Or do you mean 71% of the 67.2% not 71% of Americans?

That survey was for employee provided coverage, so it would be 71% of the 67.2% Americans who get their coverage via employers. I couldn't find satisfaction rates for government provided coverage.

Which means less than half of Americans are satisfied with their coverage. Not “most”.

No that means the majority of people with employee provided insurance are happy.

There aren't stats on satisfaction of government provided healthcare, but if they are unsatisfied it furthers my point that the government should stay out of healthcare. And if they are satisfied then there is no problem :)
