Some Democrats have rushed out to express support for Medicare for All or a Single-Payer Healthcare system for this country…
They are just hosing the public ….
Americans, who have been living with private insurance plans that give them options , are NEVER gonna want a straight-out ALL GOVERNMENT run healthcare system…
This started with Bernie Sanders , who isn’t a Democrat…He’s a Socialist…
Now America does have shades of socialism in varying programs…
And?
Insurance companies tell us what we can and cannot do in getting them to play for our care…
But you CAN shop around for a different plan mostly…
Democrats need to feature truth in this…
It’s NOT a winner…
It would cost TRILLIONS to set up and we haven’t stop mumbling about Obamacare…
A new poll finds that about only one in 10 registered voters want the equivalent of Medicare for all if it means abolishing private health insurance plans.
In a Hill-HarrisX survey released Thursday, 13 percent of respondents said they would prefer a health care system that covers all citizens and doesn’t allow for private plans, an approach that is sometimes referred to as “single-payer.”
The most popular option, at 32 percent, consisted of a universal, government-operated system that also would allow people to buy private, supplemental insurance.
Twenty-six percent of respondents said they wanted a government insurance plan offered to all citizens, but one that doesn’t compel people with private plans to use it, a system sometimes called a “public option.”
A small minority of 15 percent of voters said they wanted the government to completely remove itself from paying for health care, while another 14 percent said they want to keep the existing health care system intact.
“Folks are clearly saying the system is still sort of broken to some degree, but there isn’t a lot of consensus around how to fix it in one way or another,” Mohamed Younis, editor-in-chief of Gallup, told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball on Wednesday.
Health care policy is proving to be a challenging issue in both parties. Democrats broadly agree that everyone should be covered, but there have been disagreements over how to achieve that.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has pushed for universal coverage, while some Democratic White House hopefuls have begun to argue that his Medicare for all plan is not feasible.
Legislation proposed by Sanders would largely eliminate private coverage and replace it with government coverage for everyone. There would still be a very limited role for private supplemental coverage for procedures like cosmetic surgery…..
