Summary
A Gallup poll shows 62% of Americans believe the government should ensure universal healthcare coverage—the highest support in over a decade.
While Democratic backing remains strong at 90%, support among Republicans and Independents has also grown since 2020.
Public frustration with the for-profit healthcare system has intensified following the arrest of a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reportedly motivated by anger at the industry.
Recent controversies, including Anthem’s rollback of anesthesia coverage cuts, and debates over Medicare privatization highlight ongoing dissatisfaction with the system.
Show me where Kamala or the DNC were promoting Medicare for all (or any improvements to healthcare for that matter) in this election cycle? And don’t say negotiating prices on 10 more prescription drugs or I’ll know you’re completely unserious.
Show me where (evidence there are ANY improvements to Healthcare) except for (evidence of any improvement to health care) or ill know you’re completely unserious. Look obviously it’s not enough, no one should genuinely think it is, but to even compare the two parties when it comes to Healthcare is disingenuous.

That’s not medicare for all.
Never said it was?
The poll in the OP did.
I replied to what crusa said? So what the post said has no bearing on this chain.
What they said was in the context of the OP.
Did you read what they wrote? Where they said “any improvements to Healthcare for that matter” because that’s pertinent.
i did’t say that dems are for it. i said reps are against it. maybe take more time to take in what someone says before arguing against something else.
R voters also happen to want good healthcare - shocking I know. My point is that the politicians are in bipartisan agreement that profits and lining their own pockets with bribe money is more important than American lives.
My broader point is that Dems lost so many voters because they didn’t indicate any willingness to change from Biden’s policies on this matter. And, obviously, it’s so bad that the people have reached an extreme breaking point. Sadly this allowed Trump to position himself as the change candidate and win, even though in actuality it will be change for the worse through further privatization and rolling back the possibility of those with preexisting conditions to get coverage at all. It’s barbaric, and the Dems were supposed to do so much better for the working class in this area.
The Dems aren’t saint on the topic, but they also aren’t explicitly against it.
The Rrpublicans have been very clear that taking healthcare away from millions of people is a party priority. The only reason it didn’t happen last time was because of 1 Republican Senator willing to fall on his sword shortly before death and end his career a pariah of the party.
