    “A majority of Americans continue to say the federal government has a responsibility to make sure all Americans have health care coverage.”

    Your own source says so

    But let’s add more:

    https://www.citizen.org/article/public-support-for-medicare-for-all/

    Recent polls indicate that six in ten Americans support Medicare-for-All. In addition, more than 60 percent believe that government is responsible for ensuring health coverage for all Americans. And nearly 70 percent of all voters, including battleground voters, identify health care as an important issue in upcoming elections.

    It’s not really a democracy. Public opinion has absolutely no impact on whether something is made law or changed. The overwhelming majority of Americans support legalizing weed and medicare for all but neither goes anywhere.

    The US is an oligarchy that pretends to be a democracy to get people fighting culture wars instead of class wars.
