Americans Support Universal Care

CONservative Spin:

“Americans have rejected a government-run system of national health care where taxpayers pick up more of the tab.”

PROgressive Response:

In reality, polls show that by a 2 to 1 margin Americans prefer a universal health insurance system run by the government and financed by taxpayers over the current system. Medicare is too popular for conservatives to attack. It can be used as a baseline for other models. And the very right-wing politicians who spout such nonsense are themselves benefiting from generous government-run programs that work just fine.
