Two-Thirds Say Health Care Not Getting Enough Attention in Election

A recent Gallup and West Health survey found that two-thirds of Americans believe health care is not receiving enough attention in the presidential election. While 67% of respondents expressed concern, only 6% think it’s getting too much focus. Both Democrats and independents are more likely than Republicans to feel this way, although 53% of GOP voters also agree.

 

Key health issues for voters include protecting Medicare and Social Security (63%), lowering health care costs (57%), and improving mental health care access (43%). Despite differing priorities by age and party, the majority of Americans remain pessimistic about the future of affordable health care. Read more from The Hill here.
