😧 74% of Americans fear unexpected medical bills. That’s more than they're converned about costs of food (62%) or rent (58%).

📉 According to a new KFF poll, half of voters say health care costs are a major reason for their negative view of the economy.

🫏 🐘 Unsurprisingly in our political climate, partisans believe that their candidate has a better approach to healthcare on a 9:1 basis (though only 3 in 10 Republicans think Trump has a plan 🤔).

🗳️ We’re 257 days from electing a President, one third of the Senate, and the entire House of Representatives.

!?️ Where are the plans to address American’s biggest economic fears?
