One of the biggest complaints of the pro-Obamacare crowd is that he media never covers the good news: Specifically, the number of Americans the Affordable Care Act has allowed to obtain ... well ... affordable care, and just how happy people are with it.
Enter: A new Gallup poll.
The poll shows those who have enrolled in health insurance plans under Obamacare are quite happy with the coverage they have received -- about as happy as the rest of Americans are with their insurance, at least.
The poll shows about three-quarters of Obamacare enrollees rate their quality of care as either excellent (32 percent) or good (42 percent). Among all people who are insured, the numbers are slightly higher, at 38 percent and 43 percent. (Those numbers, we would note, include Obamacare enrollees, so the non-Obamacare-enrollee numbers would be even slightly higher.)
As for the quality of their care, Obamacare enrollees are slightly less likely to label it "excellent" -- 25 percent, versus 29 percent of everyone -- but a similar percentage rate it positively overall -- 71 percent, versus 72 percent of everyone.

You left out these parts...
"Most of these newly insured folks were priced out of the market before, when employer plans were far more cost-effective."
"To some degree, this could reflect the fact that many who get insurance through the exchanges receive government subsidies to help reduce the overall cost of their health insurance."
So, yeah, a bunch of people most of whom had none and are getting highly subsidized support in paying for it are happy with it. lol
It's also based on a tiny fraction of those surveyed. 407 out of 10,000 who are newly insured through the exchange.
In addition, this is primarily focused on the care received not with cost and especially not with the cost from the perspective of those who had individual insurance before. Unfortunately, they didn't break out what those who had insurance prior to think of it.

Typical conservatard response.
I tell you some GOOD NEWS.
You can't TOUCH the TRUTH of it.
So you try to TWIST IT out of shape and make it into BAD NEWS.
Because there is a BLACK MAN in the White House and you can't HANDLE IT.

The truth of it is that everybody likes free shit when they're not the ones who have to pay for it.

Why is it good news? Because ylu say it is? I am highly concerned that 26% of the people who have never had insurance before now have it at way below market pricing rate it less than good.
They have only had it for 15 minutes and have a problem?
The only thing they have to compare it to is NO INSURANCE AT ALL!
