ObamaCare enrollees are less satisfied with their plans than people with other types of health insurance, according to a new poll.
The poll from the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, the research arm of the consulting firm, finds that 30 percent of people with insurance through ObamaCare’s marketplaces are satisfied with their plans.
That compares with 42 percent satisfaction from people with employer-sponsored plans, 48 percent with Medicaid and 58 percent with Medicare.
Cost is the most common reason cited for the dissatisfaction with ObamaCare.

Well what the hell were they thinking was going to happen.
Well, no sh!t.
What BS. I definitely am not happy. I am paying multiple times as much, my deductable has jumped by 4x, and it is a continuing mess. Everyone I know or meet, when the topic comes up, they have similar experience. ObamaCare is an epic failure, bankrupting the middle class, enriching insurance companies. No wonder GOPe isn’t working harder to repeal and replace.
The people MOST satisfied with Obamacare get it FREE.
Not necessarily true. The ones that get it free is because their income is low. They still have large deductibles. If their income is low enough to get it free where are they going to get the money to pay the huge deductibles?
I have a cousin in that situation. Her payment started out at $4 or something a month but she had a huge deductible so never used it. Now her payment is $94 a month with a large deductible so she never uses it.
She and the Feds have been paying for insurance for 2 years that she’s never used once. She uses the free clinic instead. Sounds like the only ones making out is the insurance company doesn’t it?
And liberal solution to this will be get people off those "other types of insurance" so everyone can be equally dissatisfied.
And those with Obamacare plans are getting them practically free.
There’s still a good amount of annual stuff they get free. So it’s as if they get both basic care free and a high-deductible insurance plan free.
Yeah, like everyone else, they’re better off not needing to cough up their deductible.
Unlike my old individual policy, my new policy counts prescription costs and general doctors visits against the deductible. On all of our old policies... scripts were a set fee for generic, either $15 or $30.... General practitioner visits were $35 as they were considered wellness care, and specialists were $50.
Now you have to pay down the deductible first... before getting to pay a lower patient rate.
I;ve also noticed that even generic drugs that haven’t been approved for a specific treatment cost a whole lot more... my daughter has Crohns, but cannot tolerate one of the steroids that she sometimes has to take. On our old policy a generic alternative was easily substituted... this is no longer the case without paying triple the cost.
