There is strong support among Democrats for a taxpayer-funded national health care plan, according to a recent poll led by Politico and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The poll, which surveyed 1,013 adults in December, found that 4 in 5 Democrats supported the idea of “Medicare for All.” Republicans were less receptive to the idea, the poll found, but 60% of Republican respondents supported the idea of allowing Americans under 65 to buy into Medicare.
“What Republicans are saying is, ‘Sure, I think we should have another option,’” Robert Blendon, Richard L. Menschel Professor of Public Health and Professor of Health Policy and Political Analysis, said in a January 8, 2019 Politico article.
Blendon helped design the poll with Politico.
