        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.
