As Americans face affordability crisis, poll reaffirms ‘supporting Medicare for all is not radical’
Yet another poll, this one released on Tuesday, shows significant support for Medicare for All as Americans grapple with rising healthcare costs and the Trump administration and congressional Republicans target federal programs upon which tens of millions of people rely.
A plurality (43%) of respondents to the latest Axios-Ipsos American Health Index said they support replacing private health insurance with a government-run Medicare for All system, compared with 24% who oppose the idea. Another 32% were unsure, leaving supporters outnumbering opponents by nearly two to one. Two-thirds of respondents also backed increased federal spending to reduce healthcare costs.

It’s been a couple of decades now since it’s caclulated that universal healthcare would actually save money, so it’s only enriching billionaires and fascism keeping us from doing it.
