What’s the story?

\nSeventy percent of Americans describe the current healthcare system as being in a \"in a state of crisis\" or having \"major problems,” according a new Gallup poll. \n

What are the numbers?

Gallup asked “Which of these statements do you think best describes the U.S. healthcare system today: It is in a state of crisis; It has major problems; It has minor problems; It does not have any problems”?

\n84 percent of Democrats believe the healthcare system is in a state of crisis or has major problems—up from 76 percent a year ago and 63 percent in 2016.
\n56 percent of GOP respondents say the healthcare system has major problems or is in a state of crisis—down from 71 percent a year ago and from 80 percent in 2016.

What do you think?

Is the American healthcare system in a state of crisis? Does it have major problems? Does it not have any problems? Should Congress tackle healthcare? Take action above and tell your reps then share your thoughts below.
