Why is opinion of alive citizens of universal health care countries about their free health care is biased toward satisfaction? Hint: it's not policy thing, merely a statistical effect of polling a biased sampling pool.

• Well, thank you, a very good answer. Same, why in North Korea 99% adore the dear leader. I will post a reference effect of Obamacare on premiums in a moment, as promised.

• "have NEVER had any problems getting care from any doctors"
  
  That's why you are still alive. Those who were denied heart surgery are dead, but they cannot voice their dissatisfaction from their graves. IN statistics that's called "biased sampling"

• the ones who died are in the vast minority by a long way , now compared to the U.S. where thousands and thousands die each year from treatable illness because they are refused any treatment because they can't afford health cover they can't speak for themselves either can they

• You apparently either are unable to understand the question or decided to dramatize your answer by offering yourself as an illustration of the concept. Did you notice that there are no answers contradicting yours along the lines: "I am greatly dissatisfied with our universal health care because they said my treatment would be too expensive and I was denied my treatment and as the result I am already in the grave."

• Those who were sentenced to death by British death panels based on QAYL / price ratios WERE very dissatisfied.

• Even if that were true, that does not represent all of the dead. You just said "universal health care countries" not Great Britain. That includes lots of people who weren't subject to so-called death panels.
