Some thoughts on yesterday's Senate committee meeting about mifepristone: www.kff.org/quick-take/s...

And even after 25 years of availability, many adults remain unsure about its safety. Similar shares say mifepristone is safe (42%) or that they aren't sure (40%). The share calling it "safe" has declined since 2023. KFF polls will continue to monitor the public's views as the safety review unfolds.

Mifepristone has been FDA-approved since 2000, but most adults didn't hear about it until the 2023 Supreme Court case challenging the FDA's approval. Awareness of the medication jumped from 31% in January 2023 to 64% in May 2023. www.kff.org/womens-healt...

Few U.S. adults were aware that the FDA had planned a new safety review. Once told about it, the public splits along partisan lines on whether they think the review is meant to protect women’s health or to restrict access to abortion pills.

Bloomberg reported this week the FDA is delaying its mifepristone safety review until after the midterm elections. Last month, @kff.org polled on the public's awareness of the drug, its safety, and perception of the planned review: www.kff.org/public-opini...

NEW from an early release @kff.org / @washingtonpost.com poll: As FL moves to drop all school vaccine mandates, 8 in 10 parents nationally and in FL support the current vaccine mandates. Differing state laws could create a patchwork of guidance & confusion on what’s safe. www.kff.org/quick-take/m...

The funding cuts proposed in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" would impact adults across partisan lines. The latest from KFF shows that 45% of adults who buy their own insurance (most of which is through ACA Marketplaces) and 27% of Medicaid enrollees are Republicans

We found partisan differences with Dems and Inds being more likely to worry than Reps overall, but most lower-income adults and adults on Medicaid -- groups most likely to be impacted by these cuts -- worry. And that's true across partisan lines.
