Pennsylvania Gov. Wolf Gets All-Time High Approval, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds

Quinnipiac Poll

Pennsylvania voters approve 54 - 33 percent of the job Gov. Tom Wolf is doing, his highest score since he was elected, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

...snip...

Removing the current health care system in the U.S. and replacing it with a single payer system, in which the federal government expands Medicare to cover medical expenses of every citizen is a "good idea," 43 percent of Pennsylvania voters say, while 47 percent say it's a "bad idea."

Democrats say 64 - 24 percent that so-called "Medicare for All" is a "good idea," with Republicans saying "bad idea" 76 - 17 percent. Independent voters are divided as 44 percent say it's a "good idea" and 47 percent say it's a "bad idea."

But 58 percent of Pennsylvania voters say it's a "good idea" to keep the current health care system, while allowing all adults to buy into Medicare. Another 26 percent say this Medicare opt-in is a "bad idea."

I might prefer M4A but it won't win at the polls. M4M at least has a chance.
