According to a new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, nearly two-thirds of Americans — 62% — think the federal government must ensure that “all Americans have health care coverage”; just 37% disagree. That’s a massive shift from even March, when the same poll found just 52% of Americans stating that the feds had to ensure health care coverage, with 47% disagreeing.
The stunning new number includes “3 in 10 Republicans.” Furthermore, the poll surveyed particular thoughts on proposed Republican measures to free up the health care market: 73% opposed letting insurers set rates based on health condition, 57% opposed letting states do away with “essential benefits,” 78% opposed relieving regulations on insurers forcing them to subsidize older Americans’ health care coverage.
