APRIL 8, 2020: Twenty-two percent (22%) of registered voters believe our nation’s response to the pandemic ([link removed]) would have been better if private insurance companies were banned and all health coverage ([link removed]) was provided by the federal government ([link removed]) . However, a Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) national survey found that 38% believe things would be worse.[1] ([link removed])
The survey of 1,200 registered voters found that 18% don’t believe things would be all that different while 21% are not sure.[1] ([link removed])
In just about every measured demographic group, a plurality believes things would be worse with such a national healthcare system in place. The only exceptions are among Democrats ([link removed]) and political liberals. Democrats, by a 36% to 21% margin, believe a national healthcare system would have produced a better outcome. Liberals, by a 36% to 20% margin, share the same sentiment.[1] ([link removed])
Republicans ([link removed]) strongly disagree. Sixty-one percent (61%) of GOP voters believe a national healthcare system would have made things worse. Only 11% say better. The numbers are similar among conservatives (64% to 10%).[1] ([link removed])
Nineteen percent (19%) of independent ([link removed]) voters believe things would have been better while 35% say worse.[1] ([link removed])
