According to a Gallup survey released Monday, 62 percent of Americans now say that the federal government should ensure that all Americans have coverage, versus 36 percent who say it should not.
Support for federally ensured health coverage reached a low in 2013, as Republicans levied a fierce effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), backed by lobbyists representing major private health insurers.
The polling results suggest that the public could be easily swayed to support proposals like Medicare for All, as many regular Americans are struggling with rising health care costs.
Support is highest among Democrats, with 90 percent approving of the idea, though support has risen in the past decade among independents and Republicans, who currently support it at 65 percent and 32 percent, respectively.
