Poll: Most Americans Worry 'Medicare for All' May Raise Taxes

Most Americans think that ‘Medicare for All’ will drive up income taxes, according to a survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation, ahead of the Democrat presidential debates next week.

While health care is a leading topic on the minds of Democrats and left-leaning independents before the debates kick off next Wednesday, 78% of U.S. citizens surveyed across party lines believe that a single payer system, known as Medicare for All, would drive taxes higher, according to the poll.

What’s more, most Americans don’t appear to understand how a proposed national health plan would work with the majority of polled citizens saying that deductibles, co-pays and self-pay or employer-backed private health plans would continue to exist. “That is clearly an incorrect view given the current proposals in Congress,” Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Steven Halper wrote in a note to clients.

WHO CARES if it raises taxes? Taxes are drops in the bucket compared to how most people are getting raked over the coals by the health care industry and insurance companies.

If my taxes go up, but at the end of the day I'm spending less money for more care it's a better solution.

Americans are having to choose between financial ruin and health care, and it's abhorrent. Our system is not about human lives, its' about dollar signs.
