Several Democrats Eyeing A Presidential Run Embrace ‘Medicare-For-All’
“The mechanism for paying for ‘Medicare-for-all’ can make the politics muddy. A recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation suggests that 56 percent of people in the U.S. like the idea overall. But when people heard more details, those numbers changed. When the question included the idea that ‘Medicare-for-all’ would guarantee health insurance as a right, its support rose to 71 percent. But when it said people would have to pay more taxes, the popularity plummeted to 37 percent.”
