Voters don't want to hear about 'Medicare for All' anymore

Democratic candidates have missed the mark in how they've discussed healthcare so far.

Voters have heard enough about the private insurance market and national health expenditures — they just want to know how presidential candidates' healthcare plans will affect them personally, according to a survey conducted by Morning Consult.

The survey took place Sept. 13-15, shortly after the third Democratic debate in Houston. Morning Consult polled 533 voters who watched the debate. It found a 47 percent plurality of voters want to hear how candidates' healthcare plans will affect their copays and deductibles or prescription drug prices.

Only 9 percent said they wanted to hear more about the role for private insurers and 7 percent wanted to hear more about changes in national health expenditures, according to Morning Consult.
