62% of Americans agree US government should ensure everyone has health coverage
The new poll shows the highest level of support in a decade for the government ensuring all Americans have healthcare.
Summary
A Gallup poll shows 62% of Americans believe the government should ensure universal healthcare coverage—the highest support in over a decade.
While Democratic backing remains strong at 90%, support among Republicans and Independents has also grown since 2020.
Public frustration with the for-profit healthcare system has intensified following the arrest of a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reportedly motivated by anger at the industry.
Recent controversies, including Anthem’s rollback of anesthesia coverage cuts, and debates over Medicare privatization highlight ongoing dissatisfaction with the system.
You're viewing a single thread.
Also an important statistic left out of the summary: support among Republicans has grown to 32%
(which is still a hilariously low number, of course)
edit: I was curious so I checked the data in the source of the article, and I had ChatGPT do the math, and it came up with this: (0.33x0.9) + (0.25 x 0.32) + (0.42x0.65) = 62% support = 33% democrats, 25% republicans, 42% independants. That seems about right, even though the latest presidential elections didn't indicate that, oof.
So this would be an effective method of turning out independents to vote?
