Gallup, here.
People are in a bad mood about it since 2020 because of what happened during the pandemic with lock-downs, quarantines, and mask and vaccine mandates, and because the expanded emergency coverage from that year has expired with the expiration of the emergency in 2023.
But 71% still think their own healthcare quality is pretty good, compared with 44% saying the same thing about the quality for the country as a whole.
There's always been that disconnect.
And generally speaking, it is difficult to draw any conclusions from this about pre-Obamacare and post-Obamacare experiences because of it. But 62% rated the quality of healthcare in the country highly in both 2012 and 2010, the year Obamacare was passed. That's now down 18 points to 44%. 71% now rate the quality of their own healthcare highly, down 11 points since 2012 from 82%.
I suspect we'll be living with the after effects of the pandemic debacle for a while longer.
