American confidence in the medical system stands at a low 31%, while American confidence in HMOs is nearly as low as the lowest (Congress), at 15%. So there's much improvement to be made. The report at health-insurance-2008.org gives a good overview. People may be satisfied with their care, but they’re not satisfied with the system.

Nobody's going to be pissed about all those extra taxes in order to get at best equal health care to what they have now (so they can ensure everyone is covered)? Please. From the way the media portrays it we're on the verge of Mad Max style system collapse. The fact that most people are happy with their care is why "reform" rarely gets any traction despite the media's constant pushing.

You think that 39% of Americans unhappy with the cost of care is a good result? All this poll shows is that if you can afford it healthcare is good in America, which has never been in dispute.
