illi News/10035015

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - illiNews -- A majority of Americans put private health insurance companies on notice when they said they would be fine with transitioning everyone in the USA to a federal health insurance plan as long as they could keep their doctors and coverage, even if it meant increased taxes and eliminating private health insurers.

"We asked the question honestly and threw in the worst phrases possible. It turns out that Americans are intelligent and compassionate people," said Dale Fountain, Chairperson/CEO of Enact Universal Healthcare for California. "Americans want a Single Payer / Medicare for All health system, and they're perfectly fine with mandating it for everyone. Lawmakers, take heed, or lose your jobs to people who will."

In February, EUHC4CA ran a similar poll also showing a majority of Americans backing Single Payer.
