Summary

  • About two-thirds of Americans support Medicare-for-all in a KFF poll released Tuesday, marking the highest level recorded since the organization began tracking the idea a decade ago.
  • KFF also found views on a national health plan remain highly malleable, suggesting support can shift depending on how the proposal is described.
  • The poll adds fresh evidence that single-payer-style health coverage has gained broader public acceptance even as debate over its design and political viability continues.
