When Emmanuel Obeng-Dankwa is worried about making rent on his New York City apartment, he sometimes holds off on filling his blood pressure medication.
“If there’s no money, I prefer to skip the medication to being homeless,” said Obeng-Dankwa, a 58-year-old security guard.
He is among a majority of adults in the U.S. who say that health care is not handled well in the country, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The poll reveals that public satisfaction with the U.S. health care system is remarkably low, with fewer than half of Americans saying it is generally handled well. Only 12% say it is handled extremely or very well. Americans have similar views about health care for older adults.
Overall, the public gives even lower marks for how prescription drug costs, the quality of care at nursing homes and mental health care are being handled, with just 6 percent or less saying those health services are done very well in the country. …

It is odd how worse it has become after numerous government interventions...
Yep, the more government gets involved the higher the cost and the lower the quality. Government share of healthcare spending is now at 70%.
AP push poll for government health care.
It didn’t get really bad until Obamacare came about.
Obamacare destroyed our health care quality and made it outrageously expensive.
Yep, as we predicted
Absolutely the truth
But you couldn’t tell the idiots
Yep
Are these people complaining about USA health care hoping to replace it with a UK simile?
The public are idiots
The US has a great health care system. Some folks want govt to pay for everything
People just don’t know what other countries have and imagine it must be great while in fact the UK-s NHS is horrible.
The Medical System ethically collapsed when Fauxci’s gain-of-function virus left his funded lab and the CDC/NIH/FDA and corporate Big Medicine failed to adequately treat the USA peeps with all of that tools that were available.
They were and are still are ALL IN for the Great Reset.
Gitmo’ would be too good for the lot.
“Some folks want govt to pay for everything”
The gov’t is already paying Pfizer to kill you at no cost to you.
Sound good?
Duh. The questions are semantically rigged.
What is the American “healthcare system”? In this supposed “system”, who is responsible for a person’s health?
Answer: You are. If you don’t like what you’re getting then change suppliers.
Mexico’s system is better. If you have money and want to pay you get what you want and have the opportunity to seek care at private hospitals. If you don’t well ...you get the public hospital.
Here it’s line up like cattle for a big pharma prescription generator and oh that’ll me this many thousands.
It’s a cartel run by insurance companies, drug companies and the government. Truly pathetic.
I took the Pfizer inoculation. Didn’t kill me
Keep being foolish
It’s a statistical thing that is highly variable from individual to individual and the risks/events carry on for at least a decade.
Stay tuned.
Get your hearth checked out annually.

And just wait until they find out, after Socializing our entire Medical Community, that they aren’t going to get all the ‘health care’ that they need. The GOVERNMENT will decide how much ‘health care’ each person will receive. ( look up NICE, in the UK) And we, on the Right, will get barely the minimum.
By that time, it will be too late to go back to our freedoms in health care.. But that is the plan all along. Obamacare was done to convince the masses that we need Socialized Medicine.
