WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A 57% majority of U.S. adults believe that the federal government should ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage. Yet nearly as many, 53%, prefer that the U.S. healthcare system be based on private insurance rather than run by the government. These findings are in line with recent attitudes about the governments involvement in the healthcare system, which have been relatively steady since 2015.

That was January 2023, maybe it's changed.
Personally, I think Congress should be sequestered in the Capitol until they come out with a plan before the mid-term primaries. If it's not good enough, vote them all out. Make em eat Spam and bread, sleep on cots, no alcohol or drugs, etc.
