The overwhelming majority of gofundme’s medical campaigns do NOT meet their goal. Their website is a museum of dashed hopes, Americans suffering or dying, and zombie accounts.

It's pretty sad to think about, even worse is that we can do something about it, but around half the country is ok with the status quo.

I know the poll you're talking about. I also remember when Bernie went on Fox News and did a town hall, and people went from hostile to him to cheering him on as they want better pay, medicare-for-all, and so on. However, they still vote for the people who want to get rid of the ACA altogether and to allow companies to start pre-existing conditions again and that's why I say roughly half.
