Majority of Americans do NOT support Medicare for All. Please reread your article - they want a public option, which differs from Medicare.
Health care in the US is an increasingly brutal, over the top expensive mess.
Frankly, a quick look at why they want a public option is exactly why they would easily support Medicare for All.
Nobody loves their health care insurance company. And where they may be stoic to positive, it is only because they are insulated from the mess, or just have not actually had to receive significant care of any kind.
Tons of people, myself included, have seen serious financial ruin, and in my case it boiled down to basically trading my home and financial future for my spouse.
We got past it, but will never see the future I worked very hard for.
Health insurance companies do not actually add any value. Most of the developed world understands this, and how a market approach for primary care conflicts with fixing sick people.
Right now the priority is making money, not fixing people, and it shows.
More people experience it, or know someone who has every day. I make damn sure to educate others any time, any day, any place.
Once people actually experience Medicare, they love it. I have watched even the most staunch advocates for our current system age in and then change their tune.
There are exceptions, and those people buy Medicare Advantage plans and often seek help getting back to plain old Medicare, which is very difficult, by design. Ever wonder why that is?
Medicare is a system by which (currently, a subset) of Americans may select[0] either publicly subsidized private health plans or a purely-public[1] option.
The difference between this and the ACA plus a public option is...not that much.
[0] well, except for many Medicare/Medicaid dual-eligibles, for which a single plan (often fully-publicly-subsized private) covering both programs is selected for them by their state.
[1] actually administered by regional private contractors under federal rules.
and 70 percent support a public option. 55% is a majority.
Most of the world disagrees with what you put here and performs better than the US.
My comprise would be let the states implement socialized medicine. My hunch is that with within a few years every economically productive person in those states would move states within 2-3 years. The tax burden and lack of choice in health care would be a no brainer to leave. Most people think socialized medicine will fix everything overnight put don’t think about what rights they are takin away from individuals to achieve their goals.
For a few, the quality is amazing, but even Cuba does better at keeping its people healthy than we do.
Cuba regularly contributes to medicine same as we do and doctors are a national export, recognized around the world.
And just what is an "economically productive" person?
You do realize those numbers come from tons of other people, who work hard and too many of whom have no meaningful access to that quality medicine?
No, probably not.
Finally, there is how health care is funded, who has access, and how care, medicine is delivered.
Socialized medicine is the VA, and that is not what Medicare is.
Medicare is funding health care, not socialized medicine.
It is hard to consider your other points given these basic misalignments.
