Poll of the week: A new Kaiser Family Foundation poll finds that 52% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents prefer that Congress focus on improving and protecting the Affordable Care Act rather than passing a"Medicare for All" plan. Only 39% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents want Congress to focus on passing a Medicare for All plan. What's the point: Much of the focus in this 2020 Democratic primary season has been on health care.
This seems to especially be the case when Democratic voters think that health care is being threatened. Democrats were more likely this month than last to say they want Congress to pursue protection of the ACA over going after Medicare for All. As Kaiser noted, this movement came after President Donald Trump's administration said last month that it agreed the ACA should be scrapped .
Not a right. Work for what you want and need. Freeloaders.
That's not true our healthcare system has problems with Obamacare Obamacare has jacked up insurance rates are as 5.6.8 years
Of COURSE they are! Many small business owners, who are democrats, got royally screwed under Obamacare. But it's bullshit to call it 'moderate' - it's about paying the bills, something we *all* feel in the wallet. It applies across all political views.
Who’s paying?
Bankrupting private insurance, and one govt run healthcare system is moderate? Please change your name to DNN, Democrat News Network
CNNFakeNews is the right arm of the Democratic Party
Who Would Pay for this debacle?
No way. They vote for thirds crazy democrats. Democrats are all crazies!
Kool Aid! Get your Kool Aid here....
Yeah probably because nobody wants to pay 50%+ in taxes for mediocre health care and have a live or let die panel decide their fate.
Not the one I would vote for. You guys are really giving Dem Corp a lot of play. Why?
Listening to CNN current broadcast..they continue to be oblivious to what is actually taking place along the political spectrum and co to ur to bash Trump. They are missing, again the biggest story on the horizon. Indictments soon for Traitors of attempted coup! DrainTheSwamp
Wow ,Democrats are not as far left as cnn and ms13nbc portrays? No way.
A Welfare State is free until you realize you’re being taxed for it. You know it’s free just Pay Shipping....
No they are not!! The y want complete government control so they can destroy it!
So if demacrates are the ones wanting this free. Then I hope they are the only ones that get taxed to pay for free health care for all.
Backpedal so hard 😂
CNN is more biased, partisan and partial than I thought
Healthcare is not a right!! Get a job that gives u healthcare just like everyone else! Nothing is for free!!
You reap what you sow. If a man does not work, let him not eat.
I remember I used to be able to keep my doctor.
Medicare is garbage! Why would we all want that?
That sign is stupid Medicare for seniors only. For all others get a job and get off the couch faking that you can’t work collecting welfare,food stamps, section 8,free cell phones etc....
These dems/socialists would 'bankrupt' the country with this bad idea!!
these Bullshits coming out of a news agency with billions of dollars cash as Advertisement you're damn fool if you still trust it
Democrats never mind giving my money away. Screw you, screw them and it is better for people to actually take responsibility for their health, work for what they get and no listen to fake news.
🤣🤣yeah, they wanna suffer and die roughly because they need to see their fellow Billionaires making tons of $$$$ out of their death 😂😂😂😂 so trueeee
Dems: We want all health care providers to perform unlimited services and be reimbursed at 70% of their actual costs. CNN: Dems are moderate on health care.
Americans should be given the monies that employers and governments claim to expend on their behalf. That is expend for health care. Americans know how to purchase health,auto, home,flood,business insurances. The gov should get the hell out of taxpayers affairs. Protect U.S.
Healthcare is a Natural Right! Universal Health care for All a must! Do not let them con you!
Moderates: “I care about combatting poverty and inequality, as long as we don’t combat it TOO much”
CNN is propaganda for the dems.
You mean bought off by the insurance companies.
Lol. Nice try to make this stance moderate.
We have medicare for all in Australia. I suffered a compound fracture to my right leg, spent a week in hospital. Cost to my pocket was $0. What would something like that cost in America.
Democrats are whats WRONG with our country.
Nice try. Not buyin it.
Good lie
There is nothing moderate about democrats right now.
more fake news !! people check it out what the Democrats have planned for our country ! 😢
'The right to life' And healthcare is an extension of that right.
Yeah right, they are all extremists
medicare for illegals. voting rights for criminals. citizenship for illegals. illegals first over americans. more crimes. MORE HANDOUTS/WELFARE, MORE TAXES, MORE GOVT; kill job creating wealth w/more taxes; stagnant economy; make us, all americans, all equally poor. no ty.
Proper and excellent Healthcare is a privilege not a right. In order to get healthcare you first need someone to want to go through the time, effort and expense to learn how to be a doctor. That cannot be prescribed or forced by govt.
This should fall under campaign finance laws, CNN is simply a mouthpiece for the DNC and all 87 dem candidates! PropogandaMachine FakeNews
Healthcare is a right, wealth is a right, education is a right, killing babies is a right, illegal crossing is a right, what else?
So, how is a “right” taken from another human without force? That’s right — it can’t. Just as slave owners have a right to a slaves labor Leftists claim a right to healthcare. The Doctors, Nurses and others who deliver healthcare will flee this new “healthcare plantation.”
Pay for it like everyone else... it’s not a right. Breathing is a right... not health insurance... it’s a product
The sign is incorrect. Healthcare in the US is a privilege but it should be a right and a right that bankrupts noone.
Old white rich democrats are the moderate ones, and it's exactly what you'd think. As trump takes the GOP into utter insanity and depravity, the old world Dems are filling the void left by sane conservatives.
Stop it CNN
Is'medicare for all' feasible with exorbitant taxes?
Corporate Dems don't want to lose their lobby money from the medical insurance industry. They know full well most countries have some form of national healthcare.
