Newfound belief in government health care comes as some Republicans are getting ready to push for cutting government spending on health care programs such as Obamacare and Medicaid

Summary

A Gallup poll shows 62% of Americans now believe it is the government’s responsibility to ensure health care access—the highest level in over a decade.

Support for government involvement has grown among Republicans (32%) and independents (65%), while 90% of Democrats agree.

Despite increased approval of the Affordable Care Act (54%), Republicans, led by Donald Trump, may target Medicaid and ACA spending to fund $4 trillion in tax cuts.

Trump has offered vague healthcare plans but has not provided detailed proposals to replace the ACA.
