Summary

Polls show a majority blame insurance and pharmaceutical companies for high costs, denied claims, and access issues.

Only 44% rate U.S. health care quality as “good” or “excellent,” a 20-year low.

Support for government intervention is rising, with 62% favoring federal responsibility for universal health care.

Meanwhile, satisfaction with the Affordable Care Act has grown, with 54% approving.

Trump’s unclear health care overhaul plans are entering a polarized environment where Americans remain split on private versus government-run systems.

So what would happen if you stopped working at this place for whatever reason, or the company itself ceased to exist? Just wondering how that situation would affect things.
