Dem. Voter Majority Support For Ending Private Health Ins. Shown In Super Tues. Exit Polls: M4A

[appalachiablue]

'In Every Super Tuesday State With Exit Polls, Majority of Democratic Voters Support Eliminating Private Health Insurance.'"Medicare for All is winning," said Alyssa Kang, community organizer with the California Nurses Association. Common Dreams, March 4, 2020.

While Democratic voters showed on Super Tuesday that they are far from united on which presidential candidate should be at the top of the ticket come November, majorities in every state with exit polling data available agreed on at least one deeply consequential policy aspiration: replacing private health insurance with a government-run plan that covers everyone.



"Important Super Tuesday takeaway that is flying under the radar—every state with exit poll results shows majority support for replacing private insurance, it's winning by huge margins in a few." - Andrew Feldman, Democratic consultant
"Medicare for All is winning," Alyssa Kang, community organizer with the California Nurses Association, tweeted Tuesday evening as early Edison Research exit poll results from Maine, North Carolina, and Virginia showed majority support for eliminating private insurance in favor of a universal government plan.

Results from every other Super Tuesday state—with the exception of Utah and Arkansas, where Edison did not conduct exit polls—followed the early trend, delivering the clearest indication of the 2020 election season that scrapping America's wasteful and deadly private insurance system is not as "radical" or unpalatable a proposal as some politicians and pundits like to claim.

Democratic voters in Vermont, the home state of presidential hopeful and Medicare for All champion Sen. Bernie Sanders, supported eliminating private insurance by the widest margin.

6. Compared to what?

I think most people think they like their insurance because A) They have never been offered anything better and B) They think they have something better than other people do. So you like your plan because you chose it? Or was it chosen for you by your employer?
