Poll: Most are satisfied with their health insurance, but a quarter report denials or delays

Main Idea: A new NBC News poll shows most Americans are happy with their health insurance, but many also say they have faced denied or delayed care, adding pressure to the health care debate facing Democrats and Republicans.

Key Points:

• Eighty-two percent of adults said they are satisfied with their health coverage, including one-third who are very satisfied.
• Older adults were the most satisfied, especially people over 65, and public coverage users were more satisfied than private coverage users.
• About 24% said their insurer delayed or denied care, treatment, or medicine in the past two years.
• On the Affordable Care Act, more people said they want to keep it than repeal it, and respondents trusted Democrats more than Republicans to handle health care costs.
