    What polls are you looking at that have universal health care polling well on both sides?

      Isn’t hard to find, because it never is in contention. Republicans in power, Democrats in power, want the status quo because of the lobby of pharma, healthcare insurance, and corporate control over our bodies. Those in the public on the right and left support government paid healthcare. https://news.gallup.com/poll/468401/majority-say-gov-ensure-healthcare.aspx

        72% of Democrats, 13% of Republicans support government-run system

        Currently, 88% of Democrats and 59% of independents but just 28% of Republicans think the government is responsible.

        Your source seems to disagree.

          Oh OK, just a vast majority of Americans and a growing subset of republicans. So why aren’t the democrats choosing a candidate that supports this again?

            I was just wondering about your statement that majorities on both sides support it. Not really debating that it’s a good idea.

        Every poll I can find has the large majority of Republicans opposing single payer health care. Some are in favor of “universal health care” but that being a mix of public and private similar to what the afordable* care act with the individual mandate did.

            And said the majority of people on the right support it. I can only find polls where like a 1/3 do.
