Ask Democrats whether they support "Medicare for All" and the vast majority will say yes.
Two-thirds of Democrats think that private employer-provided health plans would continue.
So why are so many Democrats misinformed about this? Among Republicans, only 44% and 42% say that employers and individuals could keep their private plans.
The survey also finds that 71% of Democrats say people would continue to pay deductibles under Medicare for All.
How about provider payments? Only 42% of Democrats say that Medicare for All would entail cuts in payments to doctors and hospitals.
While 71% of Democrats answer correctly that taxes would increase under Medicare for All, that means more than a quarter of them are hopelessly ignorant about this plan.
Most likely it's because Democrats pushing Medicare for All aren't telling their own party how radical it truly is.
