82. A majority thinks the government should provide health care for its citizens

Public support for ‘single payer’ health coverage grows, driven by Democrats

A majority of Americans say it is the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have health care coverage. And a growing share now supports a “single payer” approach to health insurance, according to a new national survey by Pew Research Center.

Currently, 60% say the federal government is responsible for ensuring health care coverage for all Americans, while 39% say this is not the government’s responsibility. These views are unchanged from January, but the share saying health coverage is a government responsibility remains at its highest level in nearly a decade.

Among those who see a government responsibility to provide health coverage for all, more now say it should be provided through a single health insurance system run by the government, rather than through a mix of private companies and government programs. Overall, 33% of the public now favors such a “single payer” approach to health insurance, up 5 percentage points since January and 12 points since 2014. Democrats – especially liberal Democrats – are much more supportive of this approach than they were even at the start of this year.

Again, I'm not influenced by public opinion. I don't care what libertarians and conservatives think about abortion or other civil rights and I don't care how they feel about a basic human right like health care. Eventually they may come around too, if not - meh.

I support Medicare for all and I stand with our representatives in Washington who agree with me that now is the time to debate it. You can disagree with us all you like but it's not going to change my mind.
