What do polls show are Americans' biggest complaints about health insurance?

And what do they like the most? How does Obama's plan address the former without causing problems with the latter?
--------------------
HMOs - denial of service In general - cost of insurance. Also there are lots and lots of people that can't afford insurance, are closed out due to pre-existing conditions, or just have no access to insurance. By covering everyone, you lower the average age in the insurance pool and lower the cost to all. I don't know if Obama's plan addresses all the problems in the insurance industry. Part of the problem is that Medicare/big insurance companies demand huge discounts, so doctors and hospitals have to greatly inflate the prices they charge in general so that they can reduce them for medicare/big insurance. Then the average person with no coverage can't afford care. The system in place inflates the cost of health care.
