The Pew Research Center found in January that 60% of Americans surveyed believe the government should be responsible for ensuring health coverage for all.

“The share saying it is the government’s responsibility has increased from 51% last year and now stands at its highest point in nearly a decade,” Pew’s Kristen Bialik commented.

A Kaiser poll at the end of 2015, as the presidential primary campaigns were in full swing, found that 58% of Americans favor some form of Medicare for all.

This momentum led the New Republic’s Sarah Jones to comment last week that “long derided by conservatives and centrists as a socialist fantasy, single-payer health care (sometimes called Medicare for All) is having a moment.”

Jones and her readers see it as an opportunity for Democrats to reclaim the initiative on affordable health care, but there are indications that such a move could find even wider support.
