If they aren’t sick and haven’t had to use the system for life saving care, then the numbers from the same surveys you cite are VASTLY different.

Please don’t cherry pick misleading data.

I guess you and I have different definitions of vastly. Even 68% people who say they are in "fair" or "poor" health say they're satisfied:

There's nothing misleading about the KFF data, which has been going for quite some time now. If you recall (I know it seems like a lifetime ago), Obama got in trouble for lying that people could keep their plan if they liked it. If so many hated their plan, why did he pay such a heavy political price? Why would he even have to lie in the first place?

68% is horrible

Says who? For instance this source says that healthcare is near the middle of the pack when it comes to NPS (which is basically how many people are satisified minus people who aren't), and are ahead of "internet software and services".

Can you please link to the study that breaks out respondents by their health? I haven’t seen what you two are referring to.

The context is about how the jury would feel about it, which includes people who aren’t and haven’t been sick. So the other commenter’s data is more correct and your attempt to partition out a subset of demographics is what is misleading.
