Yeah, right. Wonder what select group of societal parasites they polled?

[Hattie]

Right. Medicare pays 80 percent. You pay the rest yourself or pay big bucks for a supplement.

Never mind who will have to pay for it .... it’s FREE!

Seventy percent of Americans support 'Medicare for all' in new poll

Seventy percent of Americans are ignorant and insane.

THAT'S WHAT OBAMACARE WAS INTENDED TO BE...

but...

They spent 5 times the estimated cost to create it.
It was never finished.
The Database that tied it all together was never finished. Not evn close!
It was a total failure.
Like a vampire it has come back to fife.

Again, what's the definition of "insanity??"

After the Obamacare fiasco, I don’t think so. These “polls” are rediculously unbelievable.

[I want the USA back]

No they don’t. They had no idea what they were being asked in the poll.
When you call people and ask them questions like “Should all Americans get Medicare” they don’t have time to think, and even if they did, they don’t have anything in their heads that would enable them to answer sensibly. So they’re going to answer yes, because a no would sound like denying them something.
They are incapable of thinking the next logical thought: who pays?
Call up 1000 people and ask if they’re in favor of the government paying for cell phones, or meals, or TV service, or funerals, or anything. Of course they will say yes.

Medicare is not single-payer. With Medicare, you still have to pay for medical care..

That is true!

You believe the majority of the country likes Obamacare? Well there's no way, I believe the majority of the country likes Obamacare, and only 40% support the tax cuts.

Fox News polls are notorious for using skewed samples. They were the ones that came out right before the election with a poll that showed Hillary with a national lead of 7%, and all the MSM heralded it as proof the election was already over - but when you looked into the sample, they used a sample that had 12% more people who voted for Obama in 2012, than Romney, when Obama only beat Romney by 4%. So, a poll that oversampled Obama voters by 8%, and showed Hillary with only 7% more support than Trump, was used by Fox, and the other media to declare the election already over. It was complete BS, and so is this poll.

We need to face reality - some kind of health care change is necessary. But it should NOT be medicare for all - that's just one more way to get ripped off by doctors and hospitals and it won't do crap to make health care better ... or prevent 'healthcare' from ‘breaking the bank’...

Keep in mind, those who are actually on Obamacare, majority receive subsidies to pay monthly premiums. Why wouldn’t they like it? And for the others, they probably are not just familiar enough with obamacare to hate it.

The main problem with healthcare still remains, which is that it is frightfully expensive. It is #1 reason why people go bankrupt.

[entropy12]

Not always. I signed up for Humana gold plus HMO supplemental plan which covers Rx drugs, and it cost me nothing. Actually it PAYS ME $52 every month to stay on their plan.

[kjam22]

I think what they like is the mistaken belief that once you get on Medicare your healthcare is free.

[longtermmemmory]

(s) how about the free “death panels” for medicine rationing?(/s)

[kjam22]

Lol.... if we implemented “Medicare for all” within 2 years dems would be saying it is not fair that lower income people have to pay the monthly Medicare premium, plus the cost of a supplement, plus the cost of a drug plan every month. We would have to drop those costs for everyone in our society who continues to make bad choices, while dems begin means testing it for seniors who paid in all their lives.

Partner, u can tell when the Fake News MSM are putting out "Fake Polls".

The Far Left Liberal Communists/Socialists/Anarchists Rats will never ever get it!!!

I saw a poll today on Fox News and they had 51% of the folks they polled liked Obamacare and only 40% liked the President Trump Tax cuts put through with the Help of Congress. I said to myself somebody at Fox News will get fired for putting out Fake Polls like this one.

It is a pure Bravo Sierra Fake poll is all I can say!

Also, I was thinking that President Trump has bigger tax cuts than the Reagan Tax Cuts, W. Tax Cuts and Jack Kennedy Tax cuts.

The other thing I can honestly say is that these folks have never ever taken a solid "Economics" class period. They are probably uneducated is all I can think of at this time. Give us a break!
