The Two Lessons Healthcare Should Take from Campaign 2022
“The public’s opinion (vote) on healthcare issues is defined by personal circumstances and core beliefs about a single issue. Most lack an informed view about the entire system.

It must do a better job in understanding consumer needs and expectations especially in younger and independent-minded users.
The healthcare market is not homogenous: a one size fits all approach to service delivery, pricing, and user experiences is short-sighted. While single-issue voter blocks in healthcare matter (i.e., abortion, Medicaid expansion, drug prices, et al), they’re unlikely to advance a system of health that contributes effectively and appropriately to the future of our democracy—a key issue in Campaign 2022.”
