Americans OK Quality of Care, Take Issue With Healthcare System

Americans are generally positive about the quality of care they receive, though they feel more negatively about the quality of care in the country as a whole, according to a Gallup poll.

The percentage of respondents rating personal healthcare quality as excellent or good was 79 percent, a number which is within the 78 to 83 percent range for this question reported since 2002.

Fifty-four percent of respondents felt the quality of healthcare in the U.S. is good or excellent, down from 62 percent the last time the question was asked, which was in late 2012. Despite the decline, the number has remained fairly consistent since 2002, averaging about 57 percent and ranging between 53 and 62 percent.
