APRIL 14, 2020: Just 34% of registered voters favor a national health care system that replaces private insurance companies. A Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) national poll found that 54% are opposed to such a plan. Those totals included 14% who Strongly Favor the approach and 38% who are Strongly Opposed.[1] ([link removed])
Seventy-three percent (73%) of Republicans ([link removed]) are opposed along with a majority (54%) of independent ([link removed]) voters. However, by a 48% to 39% margin, Democrats ([link removed]) lean in favor of the concept.[1] ([link removed])
It's important to note that a majority (53%) of voters favor the vague concept of a national health care system. Just 37% are opposed.[1] ([link removed])
However, support falls significantly when the possibility of banning private health insurance is mentioned. One reason for this is that 66% of voters ([link removed]) rate their current health insurance coverage as good or excellent. Seventy-two percent (72%) ([link removed]) are just as upbeat about the medical care they personally receive. Given these realities, it is very difficult to see how any plan that forces people to give up their current insurance will be politically viable.
