Two-Thirds of Americans Say Government Should Ensure Health Care for All: Poll
A Pew survey shows 66% of U.S. adults support federal health coverage responsibility with Democrats at 90% and Republicans divided by income levels.
- Last month, Pew Research Center's Nov. 17-30, 2025 survey of 10,357 U.S. adults shows about two-thirds support federal responsibility for health coverage.
- Among partisan groups, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents overwhelmingly support government responsibility at 90%, while 59% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents oppose it, though 60% of lower-income Republicans back a federal role.
- When asked how to provide coverage, Americans say 35% favor a single national government program, 31% prefer a mix of private and government programs, and 26% support Medicare and Medicaid continuation.
- Practical consequences loom as the U.S. Senate failed last week to extend ACA subsidies, and more than 22 million Americans face higher costs next year, with KFF projecting a 114% premium increase without tax credits.
- Trend analysis shows support for government health coverage is stable since last year but up from 62% in 2021, with Pew Research Center's American Trends Panel using national, random sampling and weighting.
