For the poll, 1,346 adults were surveyed via phone from July 15-17. The poll found 90 percent of Democrats and 70 percent of independents align with allowing all Americans to choose Medicare, and nearly half (46 percent) of Republicans consider it a good idea.
However, 54 percent of Americans don’t think rolling out “Medicare for All” as the nation’s only healthcare program is a good idea. In addition, 62 percent of Americans say a national health insurance program for undocumented immigrants is a bad idea.
In terms of other regulations, 67 percent of Americans said it is a good idea for the government to regulate prescription drug prices. Fifty-one percent of Americans don’t want the ACA to be repealed, while 44 percent support a repeal.
