KFF Health Tracking Poll: Health Care Costs, Expiring ACA Tax Credits, and the 2026 Midterms | KFF Looking ahead to the midterm elections, health care costs are the public’s top economic concern, and many voters say the issue will have a major impact on their vote. On health care issues, including the cost of health care, voters currently trust Democrats more than Republicans, though neither party has an advantage on addressing the overall cost of living. Following the expiration of the ACA enhanced tax credits, two-thirds of the public say Congress did the “wrong thing” by not extending them.

The cost of health care, including paying for health insurance and out-of-pocket expenses, tops the list of the public’s economic anxieties, rising well above other necessities.

How Do Americans View Childhood Vaccines, Vaccine Research and Policy? A majority of Americans say childhood vaccines are effective at preventing illness, but slightly fewer are confident that the vaccine schedule is safe.

In a year that has seen evolving federal vaccine recommendations and historic measles outbreaks, 63% of Americans have high confidence in the effectiveness of childhood vaccines. But trust dips somewhat when it comes to their safety testing (53%) and schedule (51%).

RFK Jr.'s CDC panel to discuss Covid vaccine injuries in upcoming meeting Past research has shown the Covid vaccines to be safe and effective.

RFK Jr.’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet March 18-19 to discuss “COVID19 vaccine injuries”.

From what I’ve seen of this group, they will present poorly-controlled correlational data and anecdotes.

And they won’t publish these data beforehand in order to avoid scrutiny.

Thank you for posting this. Alex Pretti’s death wasn’t really random, but predictable . People blaming the gun, people blaming him. Overall as doctors, when a system keeps producing preventable deaths, we don’t blame the individual at the end. We look at the system that made it likely.

Serious complications occur in fewer than 0.5 percent of cases, and the risk of death is less than one in 100,000, making mifepristone safer than ibuprofen, penicillin, and Viagra.

Mifepristone safety: Comparing the data to Viagra and penicillin Mifepristone safety data shows it is safer than Viagra. A physician argues that legal challenges to the drug are driven by politics, not science.
