Some Interesting Health Care Policy Poll Results

ACA being at a high in popularity, ok whatever. What caught my eye was the below:

As for Medicare for All, 52 percent of the public favors the idea, the poll finds, but that is less than the 66 percent who favor an optional government health insurance plan.

The public option polls better with independents and Republicans: 26 percent of independents and 27 percent of Republicans favor a public option, while the numbers for full-scale Medicare for All are just 6 percent and 4 percent, respectively.

Just 12 percent of Democrats only favor Medicare for All. Sixty-two percent favor both Medicare for All and a public option.

I’m surprised by the amount of support for a public option.
