Issues

Healthcare

From health insurance to prescription drug prices, the cost of healthcare has been a political issue for decades. There’s good reason for that: In 2018, $3.7 trillion was spent on healthcare-related goods and services, 18% of the nation’s gross domestic product. The issue encompasses several government programs, with Medicare (which primarily serves the 65+ population) and Medicaid (for low-income people) being the best known. Beyond government healthcare programs, private insurance is also an important aspect of this issue.

How many people are uninsured and how has that changed since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010?
