Summary

A Gallup poll shows 62% of Americans believe the government should ensure universal healthcare coverage—the highest support in over a decade.

While Democratic backing remains strong at 90%, support among Republicans and Independents has also grown since 2020.

Public frustration with the for-profit healthcare system has intensified following the arrest of a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reportedly motivated by anger at the industry.

Recent controversies, including Anthem’s rollback of anesthesia coverage cuts, and debates over Medicare privatization highlight ongoing dissatisfaction with the system.

    ACA was passed without Republican votes, the Dems didn’t have support in their own party for more. The Dems own that terrible legislation.

    Also, they keep trying to pass more and more gun control. Fuck that, I’m a huge gun rights advocate. I’m also an advocate for the 1st, the 4th and more. The owner class hates all of our rights.

    And yes I have Trump voters in my extended family. Most families do. I’m prepared to protest all of his coming terrible actions too. I hate both of our fucked up parties, for different reasons.

      If you’ve got a solution for the absurd rates of mass shootings in the US, that does not involve some form of common-sense firearm restrictions, then you need to let people fucking know about it.

      That being said. Common sense firearm restrictions is not the same as “taking guns away from the working class.”

        If you could convince single issue 2A voters of this you’d change the course of history.
