By Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 26 at 4:14 PM As you’ve heard, the Trump administration has, in an act of supreme venality and bad faith, decided to fully embrace a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the Affordable Care Act based on a bonkers legal theory that has been dismissed by legal observers across the ideological spectrum.
Do you think that keeping the current health care system but allowing all adults the option of buying into Medicare is a good idea or a bad idea? The poll also finds that the public is not as supportive of replacing the current health-care system with a single-payer one, or Medicare-for-all. Americans are almost exactly split on that question, 43 percent to 45 percent.
But since then, the ferment in Democratic politics has raised questions as to whether that will hold going into 2020. With emboldened progressive House members pushing policies like a Green New Deal and Medicare-for-all, the speculation among some political observers has been that this could alienate some of the more affluent suburban whites, who, it was said, gravitated to Democrats largely out of disgust with Trump personally and might not be too comfortable with overly progressive policies.

Then get going. You are doing nothing
SpeakerPelosi sold her soul to get that gavel & take a shot at POTUS. She missed. Now she is back to the issue that lost her the gavel the 1st time. Maybe it's age.
Unless SpeakerPelosi means widespread support among our 535 legislators in congress, the support to which she refers is irrelevant.

Medicare is unsustainable now! Who is going to pay for expansion? Taxpayers!

WHERES the reporting on what Obama knew about the Russian collusion hoax? Can’t anyone even get a comment from your leader? Wont he talk about this?
And so many prescriptions have gone generic and affordable, it's the premiums, copays, emergencies, so many people would be dead or bankrupt without ACA. Anyone writing about that ewarren KamalaHarris BernieSanders SenGillibrand JoeBiden CoryBooker amyklobuchar et Al.
Opposition to Mr. Obama's health care may lead some EU countries to abandon Huawei. Barack Obama and the German Chancellor are very good friends. Obama's health care can be replaced by a better plan, which does not mean that I agree with Trump's plan.
How about we subsidize healthcare for people born with a condition and raise costs on obese people since their health conditions are a direct result of their own actions? We raised insurance costs on those who smoke cigarettes. Let's do it to the gluttons who don't exercise.
Damn right there is!
If there’s anything left after the Rs gut it
The support will be evident, not in faulty polls, but when Americans stop voting for Republicans. There's faint home from 2018 races but we shall see in 2020.
I thought that 80% of americans want healthcare for all
No, there isn’t.
Would that be by the newly arrived illegals
How'd Obama care work out and why aren't you and congress aides on Obama care instead of subsidized care paid for by us.
lol Pelosi is a total disaster
100% of Americans have pre-existing health condition-the insurance companies knew how to frame it in order to exclude people.
There’s a inverse correlation between American schools’ falling test scores and their increased reliance on government to “solve” their problems.
that timeless rallying cry of the left: 'overhaul healthcare in a more progressive direction'
Anyone who is against their fellow citizens having access to affordable health care has problems.
There's a lot of polls that 70% of Americans would like socialized healthcare... You'd think our representatives would have mandate
It's immoral to steal money in the form of taxation and give it to others. Almsgiving and charity should be a choice for the individual to make, not a forced action regulated by a government that doesn't even know how to efficiently spend the money. Leave charity to the people!
And yet the President will make it happen. A lot of decades old issues getting solved by Trump.
Hey wapo even if it was true nobody believes a word you say.
Access to healthcare means absolutely nothing if it is not affordable. There is no realistic solution to the cost of care outside of progressive reform.
