Funny you talk about quality insurance, but its employer provided insurance that's higher quality than the government or self paid ones. Because the employer gets a very good bulk deal and pays a high premium, much more than the average person can self-pay. That is why satisfaction is so high for employer provided insurance.

Government insurance, at least for federal employees, is actually very good, and for the same reasons you stated. There are few with as much bargaining power as governments.
But I don't quite get your point. You said that 70% of people are happy with their insurance. And my point was that doesn't seem very high at all as most people aren't that sick. You can't use a majority's viewpoint to judge the quality of a service that they don't use.
