You transitioned it in your past post when you started American healthcare is broken, but thats neither her nor there.

48% of people say their healthcare is good or excelent.. meaning 52% of people wouldn't even call their insurance "good" And lets say 20% of those 52% don't have coverage... that's still pretty pathetic.

I think this classifies as more then a broken arm.
You're also conveniently ignoring the information that I posted in the same report that only 19% consider it poor. There is a large middle ground in there of "ok". To me "ok" is perfectly fine especially when considering this is based on subjective opinion and what is good to one person might be just be ok to another.

So if you want to look at the numbers comprehensively, 81% of people rate their healthcare as "ok/acceptable to excellent" and 19% consider it poor.

It's a broken arm.
