Americans have low opinion of health care offered, ability of government to fix it

A recent poll found that 48% of Americans named health care as the top problem for the government to focus on in 2018. However, of those who named health care the top problem, 70% of them had little to no confidence that government will make improvements.

Reasons for dissatisfaction include particularly the cost of insurance and what that insurance actually covers. Many Americans still cannot afford even the most basic plans, and those who can afford a plan often need procedures that are not covered by it.
