Two-thirds of Americans, including half of Republicans, say they want the government to spend more money to reduce health care costs — but they still like their health insurance and most are skeptical of Medicare for All, new polling data suggests. When it comes to figuring out the specific policy to lower costs, only 43% want Medicare for All — which would create a single-payer health system operated by the US government, polling released on Tuesday by Axios-Ipsos shows. In contrast, nearly a quarter (24%) oppose universal Medicare, while almost a third (32%) say they aren’t sure.
