Most Americans now favor government-paid health insurance for all, according to a new 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 — up from 53% in 2020 — said they are in favor of universal US health insurance often referred to as “Medicare for all,” 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 a single-payer model would eliminate private insurance plans, that overall support dropped to 52% — still well ahead of the 37% favorability seen in the 2020 survey.

Stockholm Syndrome was always fake and a lie so what the fuck is wrong with these idiots?
Give people a smelly gym sock and let them hold it for five minutes and they’ll reflexively try to stop you from taking it back. Getting over 50% yes to a survey question that says “and then we will take something away from you” is honestly pretty crazy.
Yet they will continue to vote for idiots who are deeply against it. Shocking.
