I saw Michael Moore's recent interview on Real Time where Maher
thinks that Medicare For All (MFA) is too radical. He bases that on
polls that show that people are less inclined to approve of it when the
question is framed that they will lose their private insurance coverage.
But according to this poll, when people are made aware that they will not lose their choice of doctor or hospitals the approval rate goes back up.
Hence
it's more about how poll questions are framed. The first frame is
likely designed by opponents of MFA to make it seem like a loss of
freedom of choice. Whereas Sanders, in the 2nd debate when this
discussion came up, indeed said you will still have freedom of choice of
your doctors and hospitals. We progressives need to dig up other polls
that frame it this way to prove MFA is supported by the majority, as
well as continuing to repeatedly frame MFA that way to keep support
high.
