Poll: 80% satisfied with current health care coverage

From the "If It Ain't Broke, Why Fix It?" Department comes this startling number from the latest Rasmussen poll about the U.S. health care system: 80% of those with insurance rate their own coverage as good or excellent.

Makes you wonder what Obama's real motivation is for a government takeover of health care.

More from Rasmussen:
Forty-eight percent (48%) of U.S. voters now rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 19% rate it as poor.

These figures reflect a significant increase in support for the health care system over the past few months. In May, just 35% of adults nationwide rated the system as good or excellent. A year ago, just 29% of Likely Voters rated the system in such positive terms.

The new polling also shows that 80% of those with insurance rate their own coverage as good or excellent. That’s up from 70% in May.
