Americans' Experiences with Marketplace and Medicaid Coverage

The Commonwealth Fund’s third Affordable Care Act Tracking Survey finds that 86 percent of people who are currently insured through Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans or newly covered by Medicaid are very or somewhat satisfied with their coverage. Nearly seven of 10 adults with new coverage have used it to get health care; many said they previously wouldn’t have been able to afford that care. Fielded between March and May of 2015, this survey monitors how working-age adults who have marketplace or Medicaid coverage through the ACA are using their insurance to get services. The survey also asks people how they view their health plan and physicians.
