As the 2020 presidential election continues to play out, healthcare is at the forefront of central issues. Many Democrat candidates affirmed their support for this particular manner of healthcare during the first primary debates earlier this week.
It also turns out that Medicare-For-All support is not mutually exclusive to Democrat presidential candidates. Precisely 50% of the House Democrat caucus has chosen to get on board with Medicare-For-All, as of Friday.
Examining the Support for Medicare-For-All
Medicare-For-All is extremely popular amongst Americans who lean left of center. Put simply, progressives and Democrats maintain that this proposal will grant healthcare to everyone.
Those on the left wing also believe that private healthcare has failed Americans; during the debates earlier this week, several candidates claimed that only insurance companies benefit from private healthcare. Furthermore, Democrat candidates acknowledged that Medicare-For-All enforcement would require kicking Americans off their private healthcare.
