Americans Maintain Negative View of U.S. Healthcare Coverage

Three in four still say system has major problems or is in crisis - by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- The majority of Americans rate the quality of healthcare in the U.S. as excellent (20%) or good (39%), as they have consistently done over the past decade. However, relatively few give excellent (6%) or good (27%) ratings to U.S. healthcare coverage. Positive views about healthcare coverage have declined this year after increasing in 2009 and maintaining that level in 2010 -- during the heated discussion and then passage of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform initiative.


These results are based on Gallup's Health and Healthcare survey, conducted each November since 2001. The 2011 update was conducted Nov. 3-6.
