Title: Majority of Americans support universal healthcare

A majority of Americans are in favor of a federally funded healthcare system that provides insurance to all Americans, according to a new Gallup poll.

Some 58 percent of respondents support replacing ObamaCare with a universal healthcare system, while 37 percent oppose that plan.

A majority — 51 percent — also supports simply repealing the Affordable Care Act, while 45 percent oppose the idea. Americans were divided over the idea of leaving ObamaCare as is: 49 percent oppose the idea, and 48 percent support it.

The three scenarios were meant to correspond to the proposals of the three presidential candidates.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is in support of a single-payer, federally administered plan. Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has called for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has said the law will stay in place.

The poll was conducted from May 6 to 8 among 1,549 adults across the country. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

I don't think 58% of Americans know what universal healthcare is. However IMO they will change their mind if they have to pay for it.

Middle class is evaporating, while the rich and especially superich make a killing.

Certainly they can afford it.

Have any data that supports your certainty?

Data are all around, look at the shift in distribution of wealth over the last decades and health care in other developed countries. Then raw data are not enough, you need to analyze and interpret them correctly.

On the other hand market based health care system has some advantages. For example it can help spread of a new plague, when poor losers working in services will not be able to get to a doctor or even stay home when sick. Germs will prosper, less successful humans (aka Job Snatchers) will be culled and the magnificent Job Creators saved in isolated mansions will learn how to till the soil.
