Healthcare has not been on the political landscape since the last attempt to overturn the Affordable Care Act aka ObamaCare failed…and then-candidate Trump talked up his very-hard-and-actually-impossible-to-locate HealthPlan.
Just-released polling indicates several healthcare issues are top-of-mind for voters across the political spectrum.
- 4 out of 5 voters say it is “very important” for candidates to talk about healthcare affordability...making healthcare the second most important topic among respondents.
- The ACA is back in voters’ minds with almost half of poll respondents stating the ACA’s future is “very important issue”.
- Medicare and Medicaid are also top of mind for voters as is access to mental healthcare with 75% and 70% of respondents respectively stating these issues
- Related, about a quarter of voters (24%) say they would only vote for a candidate who shares their views on abortion.
What does this mean for you?
As America ages and healthcare becomes increasingly unaffordable, more voters are more about healthcare.
