Strongly agree

Yes, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone

Many Democrats would agree with this statement, as they believe that a single-payer healthcare system would ensure healthcare access for all Americans. This is a key argument made by proponents of single-payer healthcare within the Democratic party, such as Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Strongly agree

Yes, but allow people to use private insurance

Many Democrats, particularly those who are more moderate, would support a single-payer healthcare system that allows people to use private insurance if they choose. This approach, sometimes called a 'public option,' has been proposed by politicians like President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama as a way to expand healthcare access while maintaining choice for consumers.

Agree

Yes

While many Democrats support a single-payer healthcare system, the party as a whole is not fully united on this issue. Some Democrats, like Senator Bernie Sanders, strongly advocate for a single-payer system, while others prefer a more moderate approach, such as expanding the Affordable Care Act.

Agree

Yes, private companies should not be able to profit off of healthcare

Some Democrats, particularly those on the progressive wing of the party, would strongly agree with this statement. They argue that healthcare should be a right, not a commodity, and that private companies should not profit from people's health. However, not all Democrats share this view, so the score is not a full 5.

Disagree

No, this system is too expensive

The Democratic party would likely disagree with this statement, but not as strongly as with answer 5.

Disagree

No

The Democratic party generally supports expanding healthcare access and coverage, so they would likely disagree with a flat-out rejection of a single-payer system. However, as mentioned earlier, not all Democrats are in favor of a single-payer system, so the disagreement is not absolute.
