Title: Majority of Americans support universal healthcare

A majority of Americans are in favor of a federally funded healthcare system that provides insurance to all Americans, according to a new Gallup poll.

Some 58 percent of respondents support replacing ObamaCare with a universal healthcare system, while 37 percent oppose that plan.

A majority — 51 percent — also supports simply repealing the Affordable Care Act, while 45 percent oppose the idea. Americans were divided over the idea of leaving ObamaCare as is: 49 percent oppose the idea, and 48 percent support it.

The three scenarios were meant to correspond to the proposals of the three presidential candidates.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is in support of a single-payer, federally administered plan. Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has called for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has said the law will stay in place.

The poll was conducted from May 6 to 8 among 1,549 adults across the country. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

I don't think 58% of Americans know what universal healthcare is. However IMO they will change their mind if they have to pay for it.

They think "the rich" will pay for it - along with all sorts of other free shit.

Middle class is evaporating, while the rich and especially superich make a killing.

Certainly they can afford it.

Gee, I wonder why?

"First, American educational attainment has dropped precipitously in comparison to other developed countries. While Americans over 55 are highly educated and literate compared to their Canadian and European counterparts, the same cannot be said for those in the 16- to 24-year-old age bracket, who rank near the bottom for all rich countries in educational attainment."

The more socialist the U.S. becomes the lower the education attainment. But that is to be expected as the Bread and Circuses mentality grows.

The main culprit is GI Bill which gave unwashed massed education they were not fit to understand.

WTF? Are you really that ignorant? Do you understand the concept of age groups? Especially the difference between age 55+ and 16-24? GI Bill come into play here for the 16-24 group? FYI very few of the great unwashed masses have been eligible for college benefits under the GI Bill for over 30 years now. And for those in the 16-24 age group that did use you brain for once and realize that if a kid graduated from HS at 18 and then enlisted and just serves for 4 years he would be over 22 years old. These kids would represent a very small proportion of those in the under performing 16-24 year old range.

Thirty years ago someone of age 55 today would have been 24 years old. Had that person enlisted for just one four year term and used the GI Bill he would have had 2 years of college. So just about everyone in the 55+ age group that may have used the GI Bill are for the most part "highly educated and literate compared to their Canadian and European counterparts".

Now if you said it was the leftist social progressive policies over the past 30+ years of dumbing down the U.S. K-12 education system, forcing colleges to accept students that would not have been qualified 30 years ago and de facto lowering the quality of students applying to AND graduating from college, then you have a point. But he GI Bill has nothing to do with that as very few in the 16-24 age group would be eligible for GI benefits.

Boris, you prove once again that you are mindless moron leftist shill that is incapable of an original thought or critical thinking. Really sad.

You missed my point.

Did GI Bill "lower the education attainment?

Of course not. The overwhelming beneficiaries of the GI Bill were vets from WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. The draft in the U.S. ended in the mid-1970s, that's 40 years ago. The reference I posted states:

"While Americans over 55 are highly educated and literate compared to their Canadian and European counterparts...................

Someone 55 years old today would have been 15 years old 40 years ago and not a beneficiary of the GI Bill. Those 65+ today would have been 25+ years old 40 years ago and could have been a beneficiary of the GI Bill. In any event they are in the 55+ age group. OTOH there are relatively few people in the 16-24 age group that are beneficiaries of the GI Bill.

The Bill provides financial assistance for higher education not provision for lowering the admission standards of colleges and/or lowering the quality of a public high school education. Leftist progressives are responsible for both.

But if I missed your point please explain what it is.
