Just over half of Americans consider the quality of health care in the United States to be "good" or "excellent," new Gallup poll results find. While the 2010 passage of ObamaCare correlated with an increase of good/excellent ratings to a high of 62 percent, Americans' positive opinions of their care have been on the decline since 2012. It now sits at 53 percent, the exact same rating given in 2006, 2005, and 2001.
