Americans' agreement that the federal government must ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage now exceeds 60%, after declining to as low as 42% during the years when the Affordable Care Act was being debated and implemented.
The reason Obamacare and Medicare won’t be touched.
I’m not sure if @Rapidcreek@lemmy.world meant this with their subtitle, but this percentage is too low to foment change but maybe will keep our barely functional but better than nothing current systems. Hopefully we can surpass that historical 69% number.
If there is anything Congress critters hate it is voting against a rising tide. It’s not good for your reelection chances. The popular opinion on health care is a rising tide.

Good point. I will be working to raise a variety of tides!
The only thing they hate more is voting against moneyed interests.
Nice
Well, I didn’t catch that but OK 🫣
