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.
Not sure if I’m getting wooshed here, but in case you’re serious:
You’re adding percentages of two different groups
- 36% of voters did not vote, presumably 64% did
- 62% of voters want universal healthcare, presumably 38% don’t
It’s nonsensical to add 62+36 and wonder about the “missing” 2
