The new poll shows the highest level of support in a decade for the government ensuring all Americans have healthcare.

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.

    they keep trying to pass more and more gun control.

    If you’ve got a solution for the absurd rates of mass shootings in the US, that does not involve some form of common-sense firearm restrictions, then you need to let people fucking know about it.

    That being said. Common sense firearm restrictions is not the same as “taking guns away from the working class.”

      If you could convince single issue 2A voters of this you’d change the course of history.
