Medicare-for-All, a movement among Democrats aiming to disrupt the insurance market and provide Americans with universal healthcare, is gaining popularity among both political parties, a new Reuters Poll found.
The findings suggest that 85 percent of Democrats and 52 percent of Republicans support Medicare-for-All, also known as a single-payer healthcare system.
The tricky part is that Medicare-for-All doesn't have a single definition. To Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and his supporters, it means eliminating the private insurance market altogether and establishing a single-payer program.
To other Democrats, it is defined as an option for any American to buy into the existing Medicare program. Ultimately, the difference between those definitions will decide Medicare-for-All's popularity.
The Reuters poll asked 2,989 American adults throughout June and July about Medicare-for-All.
