Giving Compass' Take:
· According to a new Hill-HarrisX survey, 53 percent of voters are more likely to favor a presidential candidate that shows support for universal, government-provided healthcare and Medicare for all.
· Do voter demographics affect support for this concept?
· Check out this article to understand the differences between Single Payer and Medicare for All.
Presidential hopefuls who back universal, government-provided health care are more likely to receive public support than candidates who don't, according to a new poll.
Fifty-three percent of registered voters in a new Hill-HarrisX survey said they would be more likely to back a presidential candidate who supports expanding Medicare to include all Americans. Twenty-three percent said taking that position would have no effect on their vote, and 24 percent said it would make them less likely to support the candidate.
Seventy-three percent of Democratic respondents said they were more likely to vote for a White House hopeful who favors “Medicare for all.” Just 9 percent of Democrats said candidates with that position would be less likely to attract their support.
