A reply
this is pretty unfair because the people who are most dissatisfied with health insurance are dead
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.

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

Or they can't have insurance and can't afford it but aren't dead... That should not be excluded from the bar graph either.
those with no insurance or aren't counted
Go die of sepsis you piece of shit
