Summary

A Gallup poll shows 62% of Americans believe the government should ensure universal healthcare coverage—the highest support in over a decade.

While Democratic backing remains strong at 90%, support among Republicans and Independents has also grown since 2020.

Public frustration with the for-profit healthcare system has intensified following the arrest of a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reportedly motivated by anger at the industry.

Recent controversies, including Anthem’s rollback of anesthesia coverage cuts, and debates over Medicare privatization highlight ongoing dissatisfaction with the system.

    Ultimately, what it comes down to is that white racist are worried about black people having an easier time will enable them to get a leg up on white people.

      I think it is more general. Like all minorities and the poor. Sucsessful people feel like those below them just didn’t try hard enough. They can’t understand that often lack of motivation is a medical issue more than a choice. Same with skinny people and fat people. It’s an “I can do it, why can’t they” situation for most people who would say no.

        Most Americans are not “successful”, in the same way that most Americans are not “skinny” (far from it).
