The vast majority of Democrats do not support Medicare for All, claims Joe Biden.

According to the poll results published by The Hill and KFF websites, majority of Democrats support Medicare for All.

In a Democratic debate held on November 20, 2019, in Atlanta, the 2020 U.S. Presidential candidate Joe Biden stated that a vast majority of Democrats do not support Medicare for All and it would not pass in the U.S. Senate by the Democrats.

However, according to a poll conducted by The Hill, 92% of the total Democrats support Medicare for All, whereas 14% do not support. It further added that 52% of the total Republicans are also in favour of the plan, but 48% are opposing. Similarly, the findings of the KFF Health Tracking Poll states that only 12% of the total Democrats support Medicare for All and 20% support only a government-administered public option. It shows that 62% of the total Democrats support the plan of Medicare for All as well as the Affordable Care Act.

These poll results confirm a large number of Democrats support Medicare for All.
