Tracking Health Care Issues Ahead of the 2024 Election
A new series of KFF state snapshots captures health care issues at the forefront of national, state, and local elections, providing state-specific context, data, and demographics.
KFF notes the state snapshots are intended to highlight timely topics and “describe the health care landscape in which policy debates in the election will unfold.” As such, they include information on health costs and coverage, focusing on the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and prescription drug coverage, Medicaid, and employer-sponsored insurance. The state tables are available here.
Another important KFF election-year tracker is a side-by-side examining the health care positions of Vice President Harris and former President Trump. The tool offers an overview of each candidate’s record along with their current positions and policy proposals. It covers key areas such as prescription drug prices, mental health, and long-term care. Like the state snapshots, it details issues related to foundational programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act. KFF plans to update the tracker throughout the fall.
Both resources are available on KFF’s 2024 Election page.
