Hm, the cost for the upper nestloop is way less than you would expect given that the HASH IN join is going to have to be repeated 100+ times. I think this must be due to a very low "join_in_selectivity" estimate but I'm not sure why you are getting that, especially seeing that the rowcount estimates aren't far off. Can you show us the pg_stats rows for symptoms.id and symptom_reports.symptom_id? regards, tom lane
