Perhaps. But if I weren’t online I wouldn’t know how widespread the support of Luigi is.
Only 75% of people on employer healthcare plans are satisfied? A great many people aren’t on employer plans.
From the third link you provided:
For the first time in Gallup’s two-decade trend, less than half of Americans are complimentary about the quality of U.S. healthcare, with 48% rating it “excellent” or “good.” The slight majority now rate healthcare quality as subpar, including 31% saying it is “only fair” and 21% -- a new high -- calling it “poor.”
> The poll by CloudResearch found that 27% of U.S. adults expressed “moderate” or “a lot” of sympathy for Mangione.
> A smaller but significant share of adults, 12%, said they were supportive of the decision to murder Brian Thompson, 50, who was shot in New York on Dec. 4.
12% is basically zero in this country. To give you a frame of reference, 14% of people think Obama is antichrist
Is the support that widespread, or is it a bubble created by social media?
I think there's great dissatisfaction with healthcare in general, but social media is not a good way of judging social attitudes across the US. It's great for finding a small niche, however.
Not to mention, they are satisfied compared to what? The situation they'd be in if they were unemployed and had to pay for the entire overpriced thing themselves?
The thing about insurance is that the reason you purchase it is for managing tail events. And the only way to know if you are satisfied with your insurance company is to experience a tail event and see how your insurance company behaves. If you develop an expensive to manage chronic illness, is your insurance company prompt in paying claims? Does it try to deny all of them and require you to hire an attorney to get them to pay anything at all? Does it turn out that much of the treatments you need for recovery were never covered by insurance at all? And even if it is paying - how many hours a week do they expect you to spend submitting and resubmitting claims and calling various doctors to collect more information and submit more and more paperwork?
