U.S. adults are equally concerned about someone in their family becoming infected (67%) and shortages at stores (66%).

26% of U.S. adults say they are “much more likely” to support universal health care proposals, and another 15% say they are “somewhat more likely.”

With Americans entering crisis mode over the coronavirus — self-isolating, rationing medicine and scrambling for clarity on the cost of testing and treatment — for some people, the pandemic is doing one thing many progressives have fought to do for decades: making a stronger case for universal health care.

More than 2 in 5 U.S. adults say the outbreak has increased their likelihood of supporting universal health care proposals where the government would provide all Americans with health insurance, according to new Morning Consult data. That includes 1 in 4 Republicans and 34 percent of independents. The poll has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Thirty-five percent of adults said the virus outbreak has not affected their likelihood of supporting universal health care proposals, while 12 percent said it has made them less likely.
