Just 13 percent of Americans would support the idea of “Medicare for All” if the proposal, as it is currently written, terminated the private health insurance industry, according to a survey by The Hill and HarrisX published on Feb. 7.
“Medicare for All” is a socialist policy proposal that would transition the United States health insurance industry to a single-payer system where the government is the sole insurance provider. The policy is being promoted by the Democratic Socialists of America. In 2018, a total of 124 House Democrats co-sponsored a Medicare For All bill.
