Americans are
[[link removed]]
consistently
[[link removed]]
saying
[[link removed]]
that the cost of living is their top concern, and health care prices,
in particular, are set to soar
[[link removed]]
in 2026 — with employers expected to face the largest price increase
in more than a decade. This comes as Americans already spend far more
[[link removed]]
than any other country on health care, despite having some of the
worst rates
[[link removed]]
of life expectancy and infant mortality among wealthy nations.

Medicare for All, a policy popularized
[[link removed]]
by Senator Bernie Sanders, would provide all Americans with health
care that is free at the point of service, paid for by tax increases.

In a new survey
[[link removed]],
Data for Progress finds that 65% of voters support a Medicare for All
system — described as a “national health insurance program…that
would cover all Americans and replace most private health insurance
plans.” This includes majorities of Democrats (78%) and Independents
(71%), and a plurality of Republicans (49%).

Next, respondents were provided with more details about what a
Medicare for All system would entail: that it would “eliminate most
private insurance plans and replace premiums with higher taxes, while
guaranteeing health coverage for everyone and eliminating most
out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles.”

After receiving this information, a similar majority of voters (63%)
support Medicare for All — including 64% of Independents and a
slight plurality of Republicans.

Finally, respondents were provided with arguments from both sides on
Medicare for All, with supporters arguing that the policy would ensure
everyone can receive the care they need and save families money, and
opponents arguing that it would raise taxes and give the government
too much control over health care.

After receiving these messages, a majority of voters (58%) say they
still support Medicare for All.

Broadly, these findings demonstrate that voters support Medicare for
All, even after being informed that it would raise taxes and eliminate
most private insurance plans.
 

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

From November 14 to 17, 2025, Data for Progress conducted a survey of
1,207 U.S. likely voters nationally using web panel respondents. The
sample was weighted to be representative of likely voters by age,
gender, education, race, geography, and recalled presidential vote.
The survey was conducted in English. The margin of error associated
with the sample size is ±3 percentage points. Results for subgroups
of the sample are subject to increased margins of error. Partisanship
reflected in tabulations is based on self-identified party
affiliation, not partisan registration. For more information please
