why would people like it so much if they don't feel its free??
They rate their own plan (Medicare) better on performance than do enrollees in commercial plans. In the 2011 CAHPS data, 65% of Medicare enrollees say they always get needed care, but only 54% of people with commercial insurance say that. 67% of Medicare enrollees said it was always easy to get needed care, tests, or treatment through their health plan, vs. 59% of the commercially insured.
Scores on customer service (i.e. a composite customer service score based on responses to questions about customer service giving necessary information or help and customer service staff being courteous and respectful) also diverged: 67% of Medicare gave the highest rating vs 57% of commercially insured folks.
Personal spending isn't the issue in these questions.
as a liberal you would not know that you are comparing apples and oranges. Liberals made competition illegal in health care so of course it is not very good.
If single payer medicare is so good then you would want it in all industries - right??
