Majority favor Medicare for all, with a catch

CNN  

CNN — Most Americans want a version of Medicare for everyone, which is good news for presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris and other Democrats who support “Medicare-for-all,” a national health care proposal in which people would get their insurance from a single government plan. While a majority of Americans strongly or somewhat favored Medicare-for-all when they were asked about it in a Kaiser Family Foundation poll from January, significantly more favored creating a national government-administered health plan similar to Medicare that allows people to keep the coverage they have if they prefer it. Nearly half of Republicans are in favor of creating a national government-administered health plan if it allows people to keep their coverage, compared with only 23% of Republicans who favor Medicare-for-all as it is, a form of single-payer health insurance. In fact, after being told that a Medicare-for-all plan may eliminate all private health insurance companies, only 37% of all Americans still favored the proposal and 58% opposed it, according to the Kaiser poll.
