Bernie, Call Your Office. Americans Want Affordable Health Care Much More Than Health Care For All.

Hank Berrien

Bernie Sanders, call your office: A new poll shows Americans are far less concerned that there is health care for everyone and far more concerned about health care’s affordability.

The poll, conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), found 19% of respondents rated health care affordability and cost as their top concern, while only 5% chose health care/insurance for everyone. Interestingly, the highest percentage of respondents choosing affordability and cost among Independents, Republicans, and Democrats were Independents; 25% listed that choice as their top priority, as opposed to 17% of Republicans and 14% of Democrats.
