People who enrolled in health insurance plans through Obamacare marketplaces are the least satisfied with their plans, according to a new poll.

Only 30 percent of Obamacare enrollees are satisfied with their plans, according to a new poll from the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.

Compare that to 42 percent satisfaction from people with employer-sponsored plans, 48 percent  satisfaction with Medicaid and 58 percent with Medicare.

The study found that cost was the most common reason given for dissatisfaction with Obamacare.

This isn’t surprising given the higher comparable costs of these plans. In 2014, the average deductible for a silver-level Obamacare plan was $2,907, more than twice as much as the average deductible in an employer-sponsored plan, according to an analysis from HealthPocket.

The poll also found that these high costs led to one in three Obamacare enrollees having trouble paying their out of pocket healthcare expenses.
