While voters across parties and demographics see the need for affordable health care, Congress fails to act.
asked Americans in March how much they worry about the availability and affordability of health care, more than 80 percent of respondents said they were either fairly or greatly worried.Texas poll of 1,400 registered voters found the cost of health care was a top priority that many in the state want Congress to address.
And while voters aged 18-29 see health care costs as the second-most important issue, including 27 percent who see it as a vital priority in their future,Some lawmakers have agreed that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are “off the table” in these discussions around health care costs and access, which means all cuts will have to come from other programs, including Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, Veterans Affairs and Transportation.
Regardless of who sees health care costs as a priority, the economic consequences of legislative inaction are dire for people who use Medicare and Medicaid, known as “duals.” Texas ranked 28th in spending at $14,865 per dual-eligible enrollee compared with the national average of $19,811.
