HIT Strategies partnered with Community Catalyst on health care affordability and uncovered a clear bipartisan consensus: voters see healthcare affordability as a growing concern and want lawmakers to take action. Most voters want lawmakers to specifically address medical debt and corporate greed. From tackling medical debt to confronting corporate greed, voters are calling for major reforms — including a stronger role for government to ensure accessible, affordable healthcare for all.
“In today’s polarized environment, we don’t often see such universal agreement and have those trends remain so consistent among party identification and demographic subgroups.” Ashley shared. “As someone who has personally dealt with medical debt when my parents couldn’t keep up with the bills because of my brother’s cancer treatment and my mom’s medications for her multiple sclerosis – every one of us is just one medical emergency away from crushing debt. Voters get it, and they want change.”
