Americans Want Government Healthcare, But MAGA Aims to Cut Programs
A Gallup poll reveals that 62 percent of Americans—the highest percentage in over a decade—believe the government should ensure healthcare access for all citizens. This marks a significant increase from 42 percent in 2013 and reflects growing bipartisan support, with increases among Republicans and Independents. While support for a government-run healthcare system remains nearly evenly divided, the public’s renewed emphasis on government responsibility for healthcare contrasts with potential Republican plans to cut spending on programs like Obamacare and Medicaid to fund tax cuts. Despite this, the Affordable Care Act itself enjoys higher public approval than ever before.
