WASHINGTON — A new poll finds that 8 in 10 Americans say lawmakers should keep federal funding that has allowed states to add Medicaid coverage for 11 million low-income people.

The survey released today by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation comes as the nation’s governors gather in Washington for their annual winter meeting, with Medicaid much on their minds. President Donald Trump and the Republican-led Congress want to repeal the 2010 health care law that expanded the program under former President Barack Obama.

Many congressional Republicans also want to rewrite the basic financial contract for Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program covering low-income and disabled people. Republicans are proposing to limit future federal funding in exchange for allowing states much more leeway to run their programs.

The survey found strong support across party lines for keeping the Medicaid expansion funding, with 69 percent of Republicans saying lawmakers should continue to provide the money, along with 84 percent of independents and 95 percent of Democrats. In 16 states that expanded Medicaid and have GOP governors, 87 percent of residents said they want the additional funding to continue.

On the more complicated issue of Medicaid’s future financing, nearly 2 in 3 said the program should continue as is. Currently the federal government matches a percentage of each state’s Medicaid costs, with no upper limit on funding.

The poll was conducted from February 13 to 19 among a random digit dial telephone sample of 1,160 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for the full sample. For subgroups, the margin of error may be higher.
