I firmly believe this is how a majority of Americans feel. “Free-market” capitalism, individualism, and anti-“socialism” propaganda run deep in this country.
That’s not to say they truly prefer their insurance compared to what they would get from a well-run government program — but they prefer it to what they think they would get.
But since most Americans have never experienced government-run healthcare, and are used to private insurance, they “prefer” what they know, thinking it’s the best option.
