Most Americans now favor government-paid health insurance for all, according to a ānew poll, as voters across party lines see major healthcare reforms as a priority less than a month before midterm elections to decide control of the US Congress.
Two-thirds of US adults ā up from 53% in 2020 ā said they are in favor of universal US health insurance often referred to as āMedicare for all,ā according to a poll conducted by health policy research firm KFF released on Tuesday.
By party affiliation, 84% of respondents who identify as Democrats and 72% of independent voters were in favor, while 66% of Republicans were opposed.
When told such ā a single-payer model would eliminate private insurance plans, that overall support dropped to 52% ā still well ahead of the 37% favorability seen in the 2020 survey.
