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.

    Support for government involvement has grown among Republicans (32%)

    This is why the “Most Americans Support {liberal policy X}” titles are such worthless fucking copium. Republicans control everything and they definitely don’t believe that “it is the government’s responsibility to ensure health care access”. And so the government will not be ensuring health care access - for anyone other than the government.
