This proposal is very popular amongst House Democrats also. Reps. such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and others have proudly championed Medicare-For-All. It’s almost becoming a central stance within the party of Democrats.

Examining the Opposition Against Medicare-For-All
Conservatives and others on the right wing remain strongly against Medicare-For-All. Many Americans take issue with booting hardworking people off of healthcare which could work very well for them. The role which government inherently plays in a system such as Medicare-For-All is furthermore problematic to individuals who lean right of center.
Medicare-For-All is also viewed as radical by conservatives, despite left wing assertions that this care will help all Americans. On Thursday, 2020 candidate Bernie Sanders admitted that if Medicare-For-All succeeds, the middle class will lose greater amounts of income to taxation.
