    A few things spring to mind:

    • The chart excludes people with no opinion so it's difficult to tell the magnitudes the chart is showing.

    • The chart excludes people without health insurance so you're looking only getting an incomplete picture of what's going on.

    • More importantly, there's zero ability to cross reference this against who has had to actually use their insurance. I'd wager that people with a negative opinion have had to engage with their insurance for more than a physical.

    • Aren't people over 65 qualified for Medicare? Interesting how there's a sudden jump in approval.

      Yeap.

      Interesting how there's a sudden jump in approval.

      I only look at a tiny slice of Bluesky but I have yet to see a lib there make that connection.
