Luke Kastel reports on a Data for Progress poll of Iowa democrats. The poll reveals that the vast majority of Iowa democrats who will attend the Iowa caucus support Medicare for all and government drug price negotiation.
When asked, “Would you support or oppose improving and expanding Medicare so that it becomes the primary insurer for all Americans?” the poll found that more than three in four democrats in Iowa attending the caucus (78 percent) favored Medicare for all. Of those, 44 percent strongly support Medicare for all and 34 percent somewhat support it.
And, with insulin prices soaring, it’s no surprise that Iowa democrats overwhelmingly support government production of insulin so that people can buy it at an affordable price. It’s telling that 86 percent support this policy and only seven percent do not favor it.
If you support Medicare for all, please let Congress know. Please sign this petition.
