“Supporters of ‘Medicare for All’ now outnumber opponents by nearly 2-to-1,” according to a new survey of U.S. adults from the Axios-Ipsos American Health Index. “Two-thirds of all survey respondents — and half of Republicans — said the federal government should be willing to spend more tax dollars to lower health care costs for Americans.”

I bet more support could be had if the name were focus grouped to appeal to the same people that didn't like Obamacare until it was renamed

    It was called Affordable Care Act before Republicans nicknamed it Obamacare. Are you getting your chronology backwards, or did it have a third name?

    Anyway, naming things better won't work on that group, because you can't force Fox News to use the real name and not some derogatory nickname.
