42% have favorable views? Who did yall poll? Billionaires?

42% of Americans are smoking crack, apparently

If the 1st question wasn't have you had to use your healthcare for more than routine care and if no then thanks bye, then I call BS.

ablokeimet.bsky.social•152 days ago

42%? It should be 2%!

authorpetelarrivee.bsky.social•152 days ago

I’m curious how there’s 42% of respondents who clearly have not had to seek any medical care for decades.

I paid for health insurance throughout my 20s and 30s and barely used it for anything. Wasn’t until I turned 40 that my body decided to revolt. 😁

I’m totally shocked that many people approve of our healthcare system.

arxoclay.bsky.social•152 days ago

Given how much we spend per capita on health care and given the health outcomes, it's incontrovertible that our health care system is broken.

In 2024, my family of 4 had 8 ER visits (two resulting in hospital stays) and a total of 3 operations. Yeah, I'm thankful I maxed out my out of pocket by March this year. I wish it all was better managed and less expensive.

Those 42% either haven’t had to use it or are just afraid it will be replaced with something worse somehow

twolittlefish.bsky.social•152 days ago

That first number is too high.

typothegamer.bsky.social•152 days ago

Right I was thinking the same thing

America doesn't have a health care "system."

pat3363.bsky.social•152 days ago

42% favorable?
I bet you can't name ten people who like our health INSURANCE system.
Health CARE and health INSURANCE are two different things.

rock3tpunch.bsky.social•152 days ago

The other 42% are gonna have a surprise of a life time when they actually need to file a claim to save their lives....🤣

unemployedfatty.bsky.social•152 days ago

That seems like such a low unfavorable opinion. I think it might be because some people don’t have much personal involvement with the healthcare system.

veteranvandal.bsky.social•152 days ago

They REALLY THINK this is working.... What.

yourgoodbuddy.bsky.social•152 days ago

I’d wager many in the 42% haven’t had to use it for anything substantial yet, so they’re just not aware of how much they will eventually resent it.

lilsouthernchic.bsky.social•152 days ago

Who the hell is in that 42%? Super healthy people who rarely go to the Dr? People who have enough $ if their claim is denied, they can cover it w/o fear of bankruptcy? People who are so brainwashed they think they're not supposed to question any US system? People who didn't understand the question?

dan-dere.bsky.social•152 days ago

42% either haven’t had a medical emergency or have the money to cover said emergency >_>
