Although polls suggest the economy, abortion and crime remain top of mind among many midterm voters, health care remains a motivating issue for some voters, like Sego. In several battleground states, the question could help determine whether Republicans wrest back control of Congress or whether Democrats expand their narrow grip.
Democrats hold a commanding lead – 51%-27% – among voters who prioritize health care, according to a Pew Research Center survey released Oct. 20. The problem for the party in power is that other issues – inflation, the economy, gun violence, abortion, immigration and climate change – all rank as higher concerns among midterm voters, a recent Reuters/Ipsos survey shows.
It might be hard for most voters to isolate rising health care costs when the price of other daily necessities such as food, gas and utilities has skyrocketed in the past year. And when they do, it's all about the effect on their bank accounts, Blendon said. “They are not interested in long-term problems. They’re talking about high prices of doctor charges and pharmaceuticals,” he said. “Everything is very short-term, and that’s true about the health care cost issue. People are worried about paying their bills in an inflationary time."
