This is a rather interesting graph from the Gallup Poll. It shows that while 57% of Americans are happy with the cost of their health insurance (most of them because their employer pays some or all of that cost). But the people on Medicare (and Medicaid) have a much higher percentage of satisfied customers -- about 76% (19 points higher). It makes me wonder if people wouldn't have been happier if all Americans were just put on a government-run single-payer system like Medicare. Did the health care reform fall short of what should have been done? Absolutely!
