Most Americans Support Government Role in Healthcare Coverage
A recent Pew Research Center survey conducted in November 2025 revealed that 66% of Americans believe the federal government has a responsibility to ensure healthcare coverage for all citizens. Among those who support government involvement, opinions are split between a single national health insurance program (35%) and a mix of government and private programs (31%). Notably, 59% of Republicans do not believe the government should be involved in ensuring healthcare for all Americans, however, opinions have been shifting over time. These views vary across demographics, with lower-income Republicans more likely to support government responsibility than higher-income Republicans.
