Satisfaction with the US healthcare system varies by insurance type

78% -- Military/VA
77% -- Medicare
75% -- Medicaid
69% -- Current or former employer
65% -- Plan fully paid for by you or a family member

But it's worth noting Medicare for All is a completely different program from Medicare, and as currently written wildly more comprehensive.
