We also find that most Americans are worried that people covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act (sometimes called Obamacare), in the future won’t get the same benefits that are available today.
KFF bar chart that shows "many worry that the future of Medicare, Medicaid and ACA enrollees won't get the same level of benefits." The chart shows the breakdown of those very worried, somewhat worried, not too worried, and not at all worried across Medicare, Medicaid and insurance purchased through ACA marketplace.

Our latest poll assesses how the public prioritizes potential health actions the new Trump administration and Congress could take.
KFF bar chart titled "Among potential actions on health, the public sees price transparency and limiting chemicals in food as top priorities, but not Medicaid cuts or restricting abortion." The chart shows the percent of people in the U.S. who say each of the following 11 things should be a top priority vs should not be done by Congress or the Trump administration when it comes to health care: boost price transparency rules (61% vs 2%), limit chemicals in food (58% vs 2%), expand Medicare drug-price negotiations (55% vs 3%), regulate insurance claim denials (55% vs 5%), extend enhanced ACA marketplace subsidies (32% vs 7%), repeal Medicare drug-price negotiation law (28% vs 34%), repeal and replace the ACA/Obamacare (27% vs 37%), discourage fluoride in the local water supplies (23% vs 23%), reduce funding to schools requiring vaccinations (15% vs 49%), limit access to abortion (14% vs 51%), reduce federal spending on Medicaid (13% vs 44%).

Our study of 5,000+ US physicians found that higher engagement in addressing social needs was associated with higher burnout. This underscores the need for compassionate systems and cross-sector collaboration to support physicians in this work. tinyurl.com/yfhm8n86 #MedSky #HealthPolicySky
